[Biliary ileus caused by incarceration of a large gallbladder calculus in the duodenal bulb in a young man].
A case of gallstone ileus is presented, secondary to a biliary-enteric fistula with obstruction of the duodenal bulb, in a 23 year-old man. The patient underwent exploratory laparotomy because his clinical condition was deteriorating steadily. An intraoperative diagnosis of gallstone ileus was formulated; a cholecystectomy and a suture of the duodenal opening were carried out.
