-This CT demonstrates the classic Rigler’s Triad of gallstone ileus: Pneumobilia (air in the biliary tract), low small bowel obstruction with distended small bowel loops, and an impacted gallstone in the terminal ileum.
-Discussion
Gallstone ileus is the name given to the mechanical small bowel obstruction caused by a gallstone impacting in the terminal ileum. The gallstone passes through a cholecystoduodenal fistula, travels the length of the small bowel, and then obstructs just proximal to the ileocecal valve. It is an unusual complication of cholecystolithiasis and chronic cholecystitis.
