Bouveret syndrome is an uncommon condition that leads to gastric outlet obstruction. Diagnosis and treatment may get delayed due to non-specific presentation and rarity of the condition, which is associated with high morbidity and mortality. We present a case of a 62-year-old female who presented with epigastric pain and nausea and was diagnosed with Bouveret syndrome. Despite the low success rate, endoscopy should be the first-line diagnostic and therapeutic procedure and is associated with a low mortality rate as compared to surgical intervention. This case underscores the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges of Bouveret syndrome.
布韦雷综合征是一种导致胃出口梗阻的罕见病症。由于其临床表现不具特异性且发病率低，诊断和治疗可能会被延误，而这又与高发病率和死亡率相关。我们报告一例62岁女性患者，她因上腹部疼痛和恶心就诊，被诊断为布韦雷综合征。尽管成功率较低，但内镜检查仍应作为一线诊断和治疗手段，与手术干预相比，其死亡率较低。该病例凸显了布韦雷综合征在诊断和治疗方面的挑战。
