Endoscopic findings of Bouveret syndrome

Bouveret syndrome is a rare complication of gallstone disease. We present a 76-year old male patient in whom the diagnosis was complicated by the reporting of coffee-ground emesis suggesting upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Considering the diagnosis of Bouveret syndrome is commonly made through cross-sectional imaging, these patients rarely undergo diagnostic endoscopy. However, this case presented with typical findings during emergency esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) underscoring its educational value for gastroenterologists and endoscopists.

Abstract

Bouveret syndrome is a rare complication of gallstone disease. We present a 76-year old male patient in whom the diagnosis was complicated by the reporting of coffee-ground emesis suggesting upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Considering the diagnosis of Bouveret syndrome is commonly made through cross-sectional imaging, these patients rarely undergo diagnostic endoscopy. However, this case presented with typical findings during emergency esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) underscoring its educational value for gastroenterologists and endoscopists.
