Bouveret’s Syndrome : 64-Slice CT Diagnosis and Surgical Management—A Case Report

Abstract EN

Gastric outlet obstruction caused by duodenal impaction of a large gallstone migrated through a cholecystoduodenal fistula has been referred to as Bouveret’s syndrome.

We present a case of gallstone-induced duodenal obstruction in an elderly female patient, diagnosed on a 64-slice MDCT scanner.

One-stage surgery, that is, stone removal and cholecystectomy, was performed resulting in relief of obstruction and complete cure.

Clinical features, multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) findings, and surgical management are discussed.
