Recurrent enteric gallstone obstruction. 1980

B Levin, and R A Shapiro

Small bowel gallstone obstruction may recur, most often within a few days after surgery, due to an overlooked intraenteric stone or subsequent passage of another gallstone via the cholecystoenteric fistula. In the case reported herein there was a 6-month interval. A critical review of the radiologic signs of gallstone ileus is presented.
