title: Small bowel perforation from a migrated biliary stent.
abstract: Stenting of the biliary tract is performed for a variety of benign and malignant disorders. Although uncommon, proximal and distal migration of these stents is known to occur. We report a case of jejunal perforation from a distally migrated biliary stent.
