Abstract
Calculous cholecystitis severe enough to result in pyloric outlet obst ruction is a rare occurrence. Impaction of a large calculus in the duo denum or stomach as a consequence of fistula formation is usually diag nosed on upper gastrointestinal series. Computed tomography is uncommo nly used to diagnose this condition and was diagnostic in our patient. (C) Elsevier Science inc., 1998.
