Spontaneous resolution of gallstone ileus followed by imaging: A case report and a literature review.

Gallstone ileus (GI) is a rare cause of acute abdomen in an emergency setting and a rare complication of cholelithiasis in the elderly, with a female prevalence. Radiologists play a key role in the diagnosis and management of this condition and, with a multimodal approach, diagnostic accuracy usually increases. Spontaneous resolution of GI has previously been reported for stones smaller than 2 cm.
