Bouveret's syndrome, or gallstone duodenal pyloric obstruction, almost always presents with abdominal pain or vomiting. It occurs more commonly in females (65%), with a median age of 68.6 years. The diagnosis is made by endoscopy (60%), upper gastrointestinal series (45%) or by direct abdominal x-ray (23%). The syndrome is mainly treated by surgery (93%), but recently, it has also been treated by endoscopy or extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy. The mortality rate has improved from 33%, as was the case before 1968, to 12% in recent years. Herein we report the case of a 79-year-old female with Bouveret's syndrome.
