AI Article Synopsis
- Gallstone ileus occurs when a gallstone causes a blockage in the intestines, often stemming from a cholecystoduodenal fistula.
- Gastric ischemia, which is a lack of blood flow to the stomach, can result from this blockage and is very rare but potentially deadly if not caught quickly.
- The case involved a patient who experienced intestinal obstruction because a gallstone lodged in the middle part of the small intestine, with the condition of gastric ischemia being discovered during surgery due to swelling caused by the blockage.
Article Abstract
Gallstone ileus is a rare complication of cholecystoduodenal fistula. Gastric ischemia due to intestinal obstruction is an extremely rare event that, if not diagnosed in time, can have a fatal outcome. We present the case of a patient with intestinal occlusion due to a gallstone obstructing the middle jejunum in which gastric ischemia was diagnosed intraoperatively due to the distension caused by the intestinal obstruction.
