Abstract


 

Gallstone ileus is a rare disease, which is responsible for about 1-4% of all cases of mechanical obstruction. The morbidity and mortality rate remain very high, mainly because of delayed diagnosis.

We report a case of gallstone ileus which caused intestinal obstruction which was definitively diagnosed on operation.

Key Words: Gallstone; Ileus.
