Bouveret syndrome is a gastric outlet obstruction, and biliary ileus is an obstruction of the small bowel, and both are caused by a gallstone that escaped the gallbladder through a bilio-enteric fistula. The concurrent occurrence of obstruction at both sites is encountered very rarely, and only two such cases associated with Bouveret syndrome were reported before. We now present a case involving a 78-year-old female with simultaneous obstruction at both the duodenum and jejunum. The literature is reviewed to evaluate the incidence of such a situation and to discuss the management of the case.

A woman in her early 90s presented to the acute surgical take with a 3-day history of worsening reflux, vomiting, epigastric pain and constipation. Subsequent imaging demonstrated two large, impacted gallstones in the pylorus and proximal jejunum secondary to a cholecystoduodenal fistula. A diagnosis of Bouveret syndrome was made, and endoscopic attempts to break down and remove the stones were unsuccessful.

Bouveret's syndrome is a rare form of bowel obstruction caused by the impaction of a large gallstone through a cholecystoduodenal fistula, leading to gastric outlet obstruction. This article aims to highlight the clinical presentation and management of this syndrome, given its low incidence and high mortality rate of 12% to 30%. We present the case of an 83-year-old patient with a history of diabetes and hypertension who presented with abdominal pain, distension, and vomiting.

Bouveret's syndrome (BS) represents an exceedingly rare clinical entity characterized by gastric outlet obstruction induced by a gallstone passing through a cholecystoduodenal, cholecystogastric or choledochoduodenal fistula and impacting in the duodenum or pylorus. Endoscopy is the preferred first-line therapy. It has a favorable safety profile, but requires high level of expertise to achieve stone clearance.
