Abstract

A gall stone ileus is defined as mechanical intestinal obstruction due to impaction of one or more gall stones within the gastrointestinal tract. A cholecysto-enteric fistula develops due to anomalous communicating tract between gall bladder and any segment of gastrointestinal tract. We report a case of 68 year old male referred from a peripheral hospital for subacute intestinal obstruction. Evaluation in our hospital revealed the presence of a cholecysto-enteric fistula with gall stone ileus. Emergency exploratory laparotomy was done and gall stones were retrieved.
