  • Title: [Biliary colonic ileus: an unusual cause of colonic obstruction].
    Author: Bornet G, Chiavassa H, Galy-Fourcade D, Jarlaud T, Sans N, Labbé F, Gouzy JL, Railhac JJ.
    Journal: J Radiol; 1998 Dec; 79(12):1499-502. PubMed ID: 9921453.
    Abstract:
    We report a rare case of colonic gallstone obstruction in a patient with cholecystocolic fistula. Diagnosis of this condition is usually difficult and only achieved at surgery. We review the radiological findings, particularly the CT findings, helpful for diagnosis: ectopic gallstone, biliary gas and fistula. Early preoperative diagnosis could reduce morbidity and mortality. Treatment is surgical with enterolithotomy. There is some controversy over the need to repair the fistula.
