Abstract
Gall-stone ileus associated with tuberculous strictures is an uncommon cause of bowel obstruction related to a cholecystoenteric fistula. The stone usually obstructs the narrowest part of the intestine. The patient whose intestine is strictured due to tuberculosis or other disease, the stone can impact that part of the strictured area. We report such a case of gall-stone ileus in a patient of 80 years with multiple tuberculous strictures. After surgery, she responded to antituberculous drugs and did well.
