Gallstone ileus: Endoscopic removal of a gallstone obstructing the lower ileum

Gallstone ileus is an uncommon and often life-threatening complication of cholelithiasis. In this case report, we discuss a difficult diagnostic case of gallstone ileus presenting as small gut obstruction with ischemia. A 56-year-old female presented with abdominal pain and vomiting. A CT scan was performed and showed an evolving bowel obstruction with features of gut ischemia with pneumobilia although no frank hyper density suggestive of a gallstone was noted. The patient underwent emergency surgery and a 60 mm obstructing calculus was removed from the patient's jejunum, with a formal tube cholecystostomy. JMS 2018: 21 (2):117-119

Tumor Visualization

Aim: To investigate the features of the vestibular schwannoma spread into the internal auditory canal and the possibilities of endoscopic removal. Objectives: To improve tumor visualization in the internal auditory canal; to create a sufficient view angle for tumor removal during endoscopic opening of the internal auditory canal. Materials and methods: The results of surgical treatment of 20 patients with vestibular schwannomas in which the tumor spread to the internal auditory canal were analyzed. Microsurgical tumor removal was performed in 14 cases; Fully endoscopic removal of vestibular schwannomas was performed in 6 cases. The internal auditory canal opening was performed in 14 cases using microsurgical technique and in 6 cases with fully the endoscopic technique. Results: Gross total removal was achieved in 18 cases, subtotal removal in 2 cases. The tumor spread into the internal auditory canal was removed in all cases (100%). Opening the internal auditory canal using the endoscopic technique allows to increase the view angle (up to 20%) and to visualize along the axis of canal. Conclusions: 1) Endoscopic assistance technique allows to improve residual tumor visualization much more better then microsurgical technique; 2) Internal auditory canal opening using endoscopic technique is much more effective than the microsurgical technique (trepanning depth is larger); 3) Endoscopic methods for the internal auditory canal opening allows to increase canal angle view up to 20% (comparing to the microsurgical view).

Differential diagnosis of globus sensation in an otherwise asymptomatic patient should include hypopharyngeal fibrovascular polyp to avoid potentially fatal complications like airway compromise following regurgitation. We present a case of a 74-year-old man with a 13-cm long hypopharyngeal fibrovascular polyp with 9 months history of globus sensation. A narrow stalk of the giant polyp allowed endoscopic removal and complete resection with the CO2 laser. Histopathological examination was conclusive for the fibrovascular polyp.
