Gallstone ileus is a complication of cholelithiasis resulting from a fistula between the gallbladder and the gastrointestinal tract. If sufficiently large, a gallstone may lodge at the narrowest part of the gastrointestinal tract, usually the terminal ileum, and present with small bowel obstruction. Here the authors present the unusual case of an 82-year-old man who developed symptoms and signs of large bowel obstruction due to an untreated gallstone, measuring 7×4.5 cm, that fistulated into the transvere colon and subsequently impacted in the sigmoid colon. An emergency laparotomy with sigmoid colotomy was undertaken to remove the obstructing gallstone, and the patient made a full recovery.
胆石性肠梗阻是胆石症的一种并发症,由胆囊与胃肠道之间形成瘘管所致。如果胆石足够大,可能会嵌顿在胃肠道最狭窄的部位,通常是回肠末端,从而导致小肠梗阻。本文作者报告了一例罕见病例,一名82岁男性因一枚未经治疗的7×4.5厘米胆石形成瘘管进入横结肠,随后嵌顿在乙状结肠,出现了大肠梗阻的症状和体征。通过急诊剖腹手术及乙状结肠切开术取出了梗阻性胆石,患者完全康复。
