Endoscopic treatment in an elderly patient with Bouveret syndrome
Anales del Sistema Sanitario de Navarra 2016 December 31
We report the case of a 94-year-old woman with Bouveret's syndrome, where endoscopic treatment was performed. Bouveret’s syndrome is a gastric outlet obstruction due to gallstone impaction within the duodenum. It is the least frequent presentation of gallstone ileus. Gallstone ileus is a complication of cholelithiasis and has a high morbidity and mortality. Therefore, it requires an early diagnosis and urgent treatment, which is usually surgical. The peculiarity of this case is that we obtained the full resolution of the symptoms by endoscopic treatment in an elderly patient with high surgical risk.
