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.
