ABSTRACT

Bouveret syndrome is a very rare form of gastric outlet obstruction following the passage of a gallstone from the gallbladder to the duodenum or pylorus through a bilioenteric fistula. This rare syndrome was first described in 1896 by Leon Bouveret, a French physician, which since then bears his name. A classic Rigler’s triad of dilated stomach, pneumobilia, and ectopic stone appearing as a filling defect in the duodenum seen on a CT scan is virtually pathognomonic of the Bouveret’s syndrome. The primary therapeutic goal is gallstone retrieval.
