It is a rare complication of cholelithiasis and found in 2\u20133% of all cases associated with recurrent episodes of cholecystitis. This case study demonstrates an atypical presentation of gallstone ileus. A 57-year-old woman was presented with abdominal pain and vomiting without previous history of gallstone disease. The features of gallstone ileus are evident on computed tomography. She underwent an emergency laparotomy and enterotomy for the removal of impacting gallstones, followed by an interval cholecystectomy and cholecystoduodenal fistula closure. This case report aims to explore the proper surgical management of gallstone ileus. Unfortunately, the question of whether interval biliary surgery should be performed remains unanswered, and surgeons will continue to make the decision based on their clinical judgement.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jscr\/rjab164","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,8]],"date-time":"2021-04-08T03:16:13Z","timestamp":1617851773000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["A rare case of gallstone ileus\u2014the unanswered question"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"2021","author":[{"given":"Chi Fai","family":"Tsang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Surgery, Prince of Wales Hospital and Community Health Services, Sydney, New South Wales 2002, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"2021070811412109800_ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"279","DOI":"10.1308\/003588410X12664192076377","article-title":"The operative management of gallstone ileus","volume":"92","author":"Ravikumar","year":"2010","journal-title":"Ann R Coll Surg Engl"},{"key":"2021070811412109800_ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"301","DOI":"10.12659\/AJCR.897646","article-title":"An unusual presentation of gallstone ileus: a red-herring or missed diagnosis","volume":"17","author":"Al-Mudares","year":"2016","journal-title":"Am J Case Rep"},{"key":"2021070811412109800_ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"89","DOI":"10.1177\/000313481808400219","article-title":"Laparoscopic management of gallstone ileus","volume":"84","author":"Mikhaylov-Schrank","year":"2018","journal-title":"Am Surg"},{"key":"2021070811412109800_ref4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1345","DOI":"10.1016\/j.suc.2008.07.011","article-title":"Complications of gallstones: the Mirizzi syndrome, gallstone ileus, gallstone pancreatitis, complications of \"lost\" gallstones","volume":"88","author":"Zaliekas","year":"2008","journal-title":"Surg Clin North Am"},{"key":"2021070811412109800_ref5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"65","DOI":"10.4240\/wjgs.v8.i1.65","article-title":"Gallstone ileus, clinical presentation, diagnostic and treatment approach","volume":"8","author":"Nu\u00f1o-Guzm\u00e1n","year":"2016","journal-title":"World J Gastrointest Surg"},{"key":"2021070811412109800_ref6","first-page":"441","article-title":"Gallstone ileus: a review of 1001 reported cases","volume":"60","author":"Reisner","year":"1994","journal-title":"Am Surg"},{"key":"2021070811412109800_ref7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"503","DOI":"10.1007\/s13304-017-0495-z","article-title":"Gallstone ileus: monocentric experience looking for the adequate approach","volume":"70","author":"Scuderi","year":"2018","journal-title":"Updates Surg"},{"key":"2021070811412109800_ref8","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"400","DOI":"10.1007\/s00268-002-6569-0","article-title":"Comparison of surgical treatments of gallstone ileus: preliminary report","volume":"27","author":"Doko","year":"2003","journal-title":"World J Surg"},{"key":"2021070811412109800_ref9","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"737","DOI":"10.1002\/bjs.1800770707","article-title":"Gallstone ileus","volume":"77","author":"Clavien","year":"1990","journal-title":"Br J Surg"},{"key":"2021070811412109800_ref10","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1051","DOI":"10.1097\/00000658-196612000-00015","article-title":"Choice of operation for gallstone intestinal obstruction","volume":"164","author":"Warshaw","year":"1966","journal-title":"Ann Surg"}],"container-title":["Journal of Surgical Case Reports"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/academic.oup.com\/jscr\/article-pdf\/2021\/4\/rjab164\/38461802\/rjab164.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"syndication"},{"URL":"http:\/\/academic.oup.com\/jscr\/article-pdf\/2021\/4\/rjab164\/38461802\/rjab164.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,8]],"date-time":"2021-07-08T20:31:58Z","timestamp":1625776318000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/jscr\/article\/doi\/10.1093\/jscr\/rjab164\/6257781"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,1]]},"references-count":10,"journal-issue":{"issue":"4","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,1]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1093\/jscr\/rjab164","relation":{},"ISSN":["2042-8812"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2042-8812","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published-other":{"date-parts":[[2021,4]]},"published":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,1]]},"article-number":"rjab164"}}
