Biliary ileus is due to the enclosure of a biliary
calculus, having migrated through a bilio-digestive
fistula. We report the case of a patient admitted for a
sub-occlusive syndrome. The abdominal CT scan showed
hydroaeric distension of the gallbladder upstream of a
large obstructive stone in an ileal loop.
Median laparotomy reveals a large stone straddling
the jejunum and the ileum, an umbilicated vesicular bed
on a scleratrophic vesicle intimately adherent to the
supra duodenal genus. After intestinal emptying, a
longitudinal enterotomy is performed in front of the
stone, which is extracted by digital expression, then a
transverse enteroplasty is performed according to the
Mickulicz technique.
