Jejunal diverticular perforation due to gallstone ileus.

چکیده
Gallstone ileus is an uncommon cause of small bowel obstruction, mainly affecting elderly patients. The most common cause is impaction of a stone in the ileum after passing through a biliary-enteric fistula (1). Jejunal perforation is a rare complication of gallstone ileus. We present a case of jejunal diverticular perforation secondary to gallstone ileus, produced by diverticulum wall necrosis. To our knowledge, this is the second case to be reported in the literature.
