Abstract :Gallstone ileus is a rare complication of cholelithiasis. We report a case of gallstone ileus due to cholecystoduodenal fistula with the corresponding plain x-rays and computerized tomography findings. The plain x-ray film showed pneumobilia and small bowel dilatation. Computerized tomography demonstrated pneumobilia involving the common hepatic and common bile ducts, cholecystoduodenal fistula, a 5x3 cm calcified stone in the ileum and small bowel dilatation. At operation, a stone obstructing the ileum was found and it was removed via an enterotomy. Furthermore a cholecystoduodenal fistula was detected and it was primarily repaired after performance of a cholecystectomy. The aim of this report is to accentuate the sensitivity of computerized tomography examination in the determination of the location of the bilioenteric fistula and the stone in gallstone ileus
