Its diagnosis is often delayed due to its non-specific clinical presentation. We report the case of an 81-year-old gentleman with a 2-day history of small bowel obstruction (SBO). He had a history of gallstone disease and no past surgical history. Plain abdominal radiography was consistent with SBO. A computed tomography (CT) abdomen scan would be warranted given the presentation of SBO in a virgin abdomen. However, this case emphasizes the importance of early CT imaging in a case of suspected gallstone ileus given that the diagnosis could not be made on plain abdominal radiography. CT abdomen is superior in detecting small amounts of gas and at discriminating soft tissue density.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jscr\/rjz243","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,8,3]],"date-time":"2019-08-03T19:08:34Z","timestamp":1564859314000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Gas in gallbladder\u2014gallstone ileus?"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"2019","author":[{"given":"Siang Wei","family":"Gan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Upper GI Department, The Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Woodville South, SA, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Reizal Mohd","family":"Rosli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Colorectal Department, The Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Woodville South, SA, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"George","family":"Kiroff","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Upper GI Department, The Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Woodville South, SA, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Abdullah Muhammad","family":"Rana","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Colorectal Department, The Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Woodville South, SA, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Darren","family":"Tonkin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Colorectal Department, The Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Woodville South, SA, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,8,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"2019091013035244000_ref1","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":"2019091013035244000_ref2","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":"2019091013035244000_ref3","first-page":"624","article-title":"Gallstone ileus: retrospective review of a single centre's experience using two surgical procedures","volume":"49","author":"Riaz","year":"2008","journal-title":"Singapore Med J"},{"key":"2019091013035244000_ref4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1292","DOI":"10.1007\/s00268-007-9011-9","article-title":"Gallstone ileus: diagnosis and management","volume":"31","author":"Ayantunde","year":"2007","journal-title":"World J Surg"},{"key":"2019091013035244000_ref5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"249","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1572-0241.2002.05451.x","article-title":"Complications of gallstone disease: Mirizzi syndrome, cholecystocholedochal fistula, and gallstone ileus","volume":"97","author":"Abou-Saif","year":"2002","journal-title":"Am J Gastroenterol"},{"key":"2019091013035244000_ref6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1753","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.1941.02820470001001","article-title":"Gallstone obstruction: pathogenesis and roentgen manifestations","volume":"117","author":"Rigler","year":"1941","journal-title":"JAMA"},{"key":"2019091013035244000_ref7","first-page":"441","article-title":"Gallstone ileus: a review of 1001 reported cases","volume":"60","author":"Reisner","year":"1994","journal-title":"Am Surg"},{"key":"2019091013035244000_ref8","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"751","DOI":"10.1148\/radiographics.20.3.g00ma16751","article-title":"Gallbladder stones: imaging and intervention","volume":"20","author":"Bortoff","year":"2000","journal-title":"Radiographics"},{"key":"2019091013035244000_ref9","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"401","DOI":"10.1007\/s002610000190","article-title":"Gallstone ileus: increased diagnostic sensitivity by combining plain film and ultrasound","volume":"26","author":"Ripoll\u00e9s","year":"2001","journal-title":"Abdom Imaging"}],"container-title":["Journal of Surgical Case Reports"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/academic.oup.com\/jscr\/article-pdf\/2019\/8\/rjz243\/29226568\/rjz243.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2019,9,10]],"date-time":"2019-09-10T18:39:24Z","timestamp":1568140764000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/jscr\/article\/doi\/10.1093\/jscr\/rjz243\/5556291"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2019,8,1]]},"references-count":9,"journal-issue":{"issue":"8","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2019,8,1]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1093\/jscr\/rjz243","relation":{},"ISSN":["2042-8812"],"issn-type":[{"type":"electronic","value":"2042-8812"}],"subject":[],"published-other":{"date-parts":[[2019,8]]},"published":{"date-parts":[[2019,8,1]]},"article-number":"rjz243"}}
