Bouveret syndrome (BS) is an extremely rare disease. We report the case
of a 54-year-old man who presented to our department with acute
vomiting. An upper digestive endoscopy was first done, revealing an
enclaved gallstone in the second duodenum. The correct diagnosis was
then made using cross-sectional imaging.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
