Bouveret ¢ € s Syndrome: a Case ReportDOI: 10.3941/jrcr.v2i4.60 Keywords: Gallstone , Ileus , Bouveret ¢ € s syndrome , Gastric outlet obstruction , Rigler ¢ € s triad Abstract: Bouveret's syndrome is a well known clinical entity; its incidence however, is uncommon. An unusual complication of cholelithiasis, Bouveret's syndrome should be considered in an elderly patient presenting with acute gastric outlet obstruction. We describe a case of an elderly female patient presenting with acute gastric outlet obstruction secondary to a massive gallstone and discuss the imaging appearances and therapeutic options for this rare condition.
