Enterolithiasis associated with blind pouch syndrome secondary to functional end-to-end anastomosis is rare, and its endoscopic and radiological features remain poorly described. A 72-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital for abdominal pain and difficulty defecating. Colonoscopy (CS) with Gastrografin revealed a 10 × 8 cm calculus, an anastomotic ulcer, a blind pouch, and an end-to-end anastomosis in the transverse colon. The calculus was successfully crushed and removed with snares and alligator forceps through CS during the ensuing 4-day period. To our knowledge, this is the first report describing the endoscopic and radiological features of blind pouch syndrome-associated enterolithiasis successfully treated with CS.
