[Successful endoscopic therapy in a case of Bouveret's syndrome].
We present a case of duodenal gallstone ileus (Bouveret's syndrome) that evolved with its classical symptomatology and was successfully managed by endoscopic extraction of the stone, an extremely unusual circumstance. Although difficult and laborious, endoscopic therapy in the Bouveret's syndrome, by using the Dormia basket, may prove useful.
