REYNOSO, Daniela Isabel et al. BOUVERET SYNDROME IN A HIGH RISK PATIENT. DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT. Saber [online]. 2013, vol.25, n.2, pp.240-245. ISSN 1315-0162.

Gallstone ileus is an uncommon cause of intestinal obstruction. It can manifest itself in various shapes according to the site of obstruction and patient characteristics. When the obstruction is located at the duodenum, blocking the passage of gastric contents, it is an entity called Bouveret syndrome. This work presents the case of a 93-year-old woman, with high-risk surgical and clinical support at duodenal bowel obstruction that was diagnosed and successfully treated as a Bouveret syndrome. Furthermore, a review of the syndrome is shown, both in its genesis and in its resolution, also evaluating different methods to give a diagnosis and possible surgical approaches.
