Gallstone ileus: Unusual complication of cholelithiasis: A case report
2022, Annals of Medicine and SurgeryCitation Excerpt :Only 4% of patients under the age of 65 have bowel obstruction. Patients under 65 years of age, while it climbs to 25% in those beyond 65 years of age [3]. The gallstone's inflammation and pressure create erosion of the gallbladder wall, resulting in the creation of a fistula between the gallbladder and the nearby and adherent segment of the gastrointestinal tract, allowing the gallstone to pass through.

Gallstone ileus: An overview of the literature
2017, Revista de Gastroenterologia de MexicoKarewsky syndrome: A case report and review of the literature
2015, International Journal of Surgery Case ReportsCitation Excerpt :The most frequent mechanism by which this occurs is by migration of a gallstone through a cholecystoduodenal fistula that gets impacted in the distal ileum lumen [3]. GSI has a female:male ratio of 3.5–6:1, affecting older patients predominantly [1,3] as it represents 4% of all bowel obstruction in patients under 65 years-old and approximately 25% in patients over 65 [5,6]. With regards to the general population, GSI represents 0.3–0.5% of all gallstone complications with 35 per million hospital admissions [2,7].
