- Abstract
The article presents a case report of a 78-year-old patient with gallstone ileus complicated by SARS-CoV-2 infection. Gallstone ileus is a rare intestinal obstruction that mainly occurs in elderly patients. The patient underwent an exploratory laparotomy to remove the stone and the peritoneal cavity was closed. However, the patient died due to respiratory complications and multiorgan failure caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection. Gallstone ileus is an unusual condition that mainly occurs in elderly patients with a history of cholelithiasis.
