Gallstone ileus (GSI) is a rare complication of gallstone disease. It occurs as a result of the passage of a stone from the biliary tract into the gastrointestinal tract via an abnormal pathway (bilio-enteric fistula). Chronic inflammatory processes result in gall bladder adhering and subsequently eroding into the intestines, leading to a fistula.

A 68-year-old female with no known comorbidities presented with a three-month history of abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting aggravated by food intake, dry cough, gastro-oesophageal reflux disease, breathlessness, low-grade fever, and significant weight loss. Initial investigations including a plain radiograph of the erect abdomen and contrast-enhanced computed tomography abdomen showed irregular concentric thickening of the large bowel along with proximal dilation of small bowel loops which was suggestive of subacute intestinal obstruction secondary to abdominal tuberculosis (TB). The patient also complained of persistent dry cough for which a chest radiograph and computed tomography (CT) thorax were done which showed features suggestive of pulmonary TB.

In the current literature, there is no consensus on the optimal management strategy, but the inverted boot positioning method seems to be an adequate and non-invasive technique. However, in our case, this method was not possible due to limited knee flexion, so we describe our technique and compare the different modalities described in the literature, highlighting their advantages and disadvantages.
