Endoscopic Diagnosis of Bouveret Syndrome. Bouveret syndrome is a form of gallstone ileus and a rare complication of chole(cysto)lithiasis. It describes gastric outlet obstruction secondary to an impacted gallstone.

Based on these findings Bouveret syndrome was diagnosed and confirmed by computed tomography.
