Bouveret's syndrome and digestive endoscopy as diagnostic support

Abstract

We present the case of an 80-year-old woman with a history of cholelithiasis who was admitted for epigastralgia and vomiting. A study was performed with complementary tests confirming Bouveret's syndrome by oral endoscopy and an attempt was made to resolve it endoscopically with all available instruments without success, so surgical treatment was performed.

Keywords: Bouveret's syndrome, biliary colic, intestinal obstruction, endoscopy.
