Abstract
Gallstone ileus is an uncommon cause of small bowel obstruction, affecting mainly elderly patients. We report a case of gallstone ileus in an 88-year old female patient. The correlation between computed tomography, double-balloon enteroscopy and intra-operative findings is discussed, as well as treatment strategies.Entities:
