Gallstone ileus - what does this mean
Gallstone ileus is a rare condition in which a large gallstone becomes stuck in the small intestine, blocking the passage of food and causing an obstruction. it is usually caused by a large gallstone that passes from the gallbladder into the small intestine, where it becomes lodged and prevents the passage of food and digestive contents.
What happens during the disease - gallstone ileus
Gallstone ileus is a condition in which gallstones, usually composed of cholesterol, become lodged in the small intestine, causing a mechanical obstruction. this obstruction can lead to distention of the small intestine, decreased peristalsis, and decreased fluid and electrolyte absorption. as a result, the gallstones can erode the intestinal wall, leading to infection, perforation, and further complications.
