Ileus due to gallstone: case report
Abstract
Gallstones are seen in 10% of the adult population. Ileus due to gallstones is a rare complication of cholelithiasis, representing 1-4% of mechanical intestinal obstruction cases. It often occurs as a result of larger than 2.5 cm stones passing through the gastrointestinal system due to bilioenteric fistula, causing obstruction in an already narrow space in the lumen. We present a patient with known prior history of a 4-cm gallstone who developed ileus associated with the gallstone in the sigmoid colon.
