    Vidmar, Dubravka ; Repše, Stanislav
    Background. The diagnostic method of choice for ileus was a plain abdominal film. However, in the recent years, x-ray has been increasingly replaced by ultrasonography which, in experienced hands, ... can reveal ileus at an earlier stage and also identify the cause and site of obstruction. Case report. We reported about a male patient who was admitted to the Department of Gastroenterologic Surgery with severe abdominal pain and vomiting. A plain abdominal film showed an obstructive ileus and pneumobilia. Ultrasound examination of the abdomen confirmed the presence of ileus of the small intestine and demonstrated a gallstone impacted in the distal ileum. It also disclosed a distorted gallbladder adhering to the duodenum. The patient was treated surgically and had an uneventful postoperative course. Conclusions. Ultrasonography, in addition to diagnosing the ileus caused by an ectopic gallstone, is also able to identify the aetiology and site of obstruction.
