Resolution of gallstone Ileus with spontaneous evacuation of gallstone
Emergency Radiology, 2007Co-Authors: Ansar Farooq, Breda Memon, Muhammed Ashraf MemonAbstract:Gallstone Ileus (GSI) is a rare cause of small bowel obstruction (SBO). Even more extraordinary is the spontaneous evacuation of a gallstone, which has caused SBO. A 69-year-old gentleman presented with symptoms and signs of SBO. His plain abdominal X-ray revealed dilated loops of the small bowel and opacity in the region of the terminal ileum consistent with a diagnosis of GSI. Because of severe cardiorespiratory co-morbidities, the patient was treated conservatively and improved within 24 h. A CT scan revealed that the stone had passed into the rectum and was spontaneously evacuated. If the gallstone is

A CT scan revealed that the stone had passed into the rectum and was spontaneously evacuated. If the gallstone is <2.5 cm on CT scan, spontaneous evacuation is a real possibility and initial conservative treatment in a high-risk surgical patient is a consideration.

Gallstone Ileus associated with impaction at Meckel’s diverticulum: Case report and literature review
World journal of gastrointestinal surgery, 2016Co-Authors: Harveen K. Lamba, Yiwen Shi, Ajita S. PrabhuAbstract:Gallstone Ileus due to erosion of one or more gallstones into the gastrointestinal tract is an uncommon cause of small bowel obstruction. The site of impaction is usually distal ileum, and less commonly the jejunum, colon, duodenum, or stomach. We report a rare case of gallstone Ileus with impaction at the proximal small bowel and at a Meckel's diverticulum (MD) in a 64-year-old woman managed with laparoscopic converted to open small bowel resections. Patient was discharged home in stable condition and remained asymptomatic at 6-mo follow up. We review the current literature on surgical approaches to MD and gallstone Ileus. Diverticulectomy or segmental resection is preferred for complicated MD. For gallstone Ileus, simple enterolithotomy or segmental resection are the most the most favored especially in older co-morbid patients due to lower mortality rates and the rarity of recurrent gallstone Ileus. In addition, laparoscopy has been increasingly reported as a safe approach to manage gallstone Ileus.
