Abstract
Gallstone ileus represents up to 5 % of small bowel obstruction more frequent in women over 60 years old with previous gallbladder disease. Small bowel obstruction in gallstone ileus is due to the impaction of a big gallbladder stone along the small bowel loops after a migration of gallstone from the gallbladder to the intestine through a bilioenteric fistula.
