Gall-stone ileus is a well-known, but uncommon cause of intestinal obstruction. Preceding symptoms of biliary disease are absent in most cases and the presentation is often vague and non-specific (Reisner and Cohen, 1994). Plain abdominal X-ray is often inconclusive, but may show classical signs (Rigler et al, 1941). Ultrasound and computed tomography (CT) are useful in making the diagnosis (Summerton et al, 1995; Swift and Spencer, 1998). This paper presents abdominal X-ray, sonographic and CT findings in a patient with surgically proven gall-stone ileus. |
