Abstract
Bouveret’s syndrome is defined as gastrointestinal obstruction due to an impacted gallstone secondary to biliary-enteric fistula. This is often observed with nonspecific symptoms such as epigastric pain, nausea, and vomiting. The diagnosis is made by visualization of pneumobilia, gastric outlet obstruction and ectopic gallstone. In this report, we discussed an elderly patient who was admitted to the emergency department with abdominal pain and vomiting without any signs of bowel obstruction in plain x-ray and ultrasound imaging. We aimed to remind the importance of clinical suspicion and the diagnostic value of computed abdominal tomography for emergency physicians.
