Gallstone ileus is a mechanical intestinal obstruction caused by impaction of one or more gallstones within the bowel lumen. It is a continuing surgical problem and occurs mainly in the elderly. Preoperative diagnosis depends upon x-ray film findings of distended loops of bowel, air in the biliary tract, and a stone in the intestine.
