Bouveret syndrome in a young patient: A case report and review of literature

Bouveret syndrome is a serious but uncommon condition often presenting with nonspecific symptoms, leading to potential diagnostic delays. Timely diagnosis, usually confirmed by imaging, is critical for optimal outcomes. Although endoscopy is often the first-line therapy, surgery remains essential for cases with failed endoscopic intervention or complex anatomical involvement. This case highlights the importance of recognizing the syndrome's clinical features in younger patients and enhancing the understanding of its diagnosis and management strategies.

Abstract

Bouveret syndrome is a serious but uncommon condition often presenting with nonspecific symptoms, leading to potential diagnostic delays. Timely diagnosis, usually confirmed by imaging, is critical for optimal outcomes. Although endoscopy is often the first-line therapy, surgery remains essential for cases with failed endoscopic intervention or complex anatomical involvement. This case highlights the importance of recognizing the syndrome's clinical features in younger patients and enhancing the understanding of its diagnosis and management strategies.
