Gallstone ileus is a rare condition characterized by mechanical obstruction of the intestine due to gallstone impaction. Diagnosis is based on clinical history, symptoms, and characteristic Computed Tomography (CT) scan findings. Treatment typically involves surgical extraction of gallstones, with laparoscopy as an effective and potentially safer approach. Here, we describe a case of an 84-year-old woman with gallstone ileus presenting with small bowel obstruction.
胆结石性肠梗阻是一种罕见的病症，其特征为胆结石嵌顿导致肠道机械性梗阻。诊断基于临床病史、症状以及特征性的计算机断层扫描（CT）结果。治疗通常包括手术取出胆结石，腹腔镜检查是一种有效且可能更安全的方法。在此，我们描述一例84岁患有胆结石性肠梗阻并伴有小肠梗阻的女性病例。
