Abstract
Background

It consists of obstruction due to impaction of a gallstone in the duodenum, through a cholecysto-duodenal fistula and belongs to the larger group of conditions called gallstone ileus which occur after the development of a fistula between the gallbladder and the gastrointestinal tract. It is associated with a high morbidity and mortality because it occurs mostly in the elderly.
