Bouveret's Syndrome

Bouveret’s syndrome is a rare cause of gastric outlet obstruction. We report a case of a 68-year-old woman admitted with upper digestive obstruction. A few months later, and after several diagnostic tests and clinical surveillance, a cholecystoduodenal fistula was suspected. During exploratory laparotomy, the diagnosis of Bouveret’s syndrome was confirmed and a pyelolithotomy, pyloroplasty and a cholecystectomy were performed. The patient was asymptomatic 7 months after the operation. This syndrome represents only 1% - 3% of all cases of gallstone ileus, being more frequent in women and in the elderly. The presentation is quite nonspecific, but in most cases the symptomatology suggests an upper digestive occlusion. Treatment can be achieved by lithotripsy, but most patients require a surgical approach.

Bouveret Syndrome

Bouveret syndrome is a rare variant of gallstone ileus causing gastric outlet obstruction. It results from the formation of either a cholecystoduodenal or a cholecystogastric fistula and subsequent migration of gallstone into the duodenum or pylorus of stomach, causing obstruction. The first case was reported by Leon Bouveret in 1896. We report a case illustrating the rarity and severity of this condition, together with a review of the literature of the different methods of endoscopic and surgical treatment.
