Abstract
Gallstone ileus is a rare complication of recurrent gallstone cholecystitis and usually occurs in elderly female patients. Recurrent gallstone ileus occurs in 5% of patients with a previous episode of gallstone ileus and is associated with a mortality of 20%. We present a 52-year-old female with recurrent gallstone ileus 1 year after her initial episode.Entities:
