Gallstone ileus is a rare syndrome that occurs when a large gallstone erodes through the gallbladder directly into the duodenum, causing a biliary-enteric fistula. These stones can pass through the small intestine and cause a mechanical obstruction. The majority are found in the terminal ileum but can be found in the stomach and duodenum.
