title: [Clinical aspects and therapy of gallstone ileus].
abstract: High lethality of gallstone ileus can be reduced by prompt diagnosis and careful treatment. Aerobilia is of great diagnostic value, in doubtful cases Gastrografin passage of the intestine is useful. Enterolithotomia alone is the least dangerous treatment. However, postoperatively the possibility of a recidive should be kept in mind.
