Bouveret's syndrome refers to gastric outlet obstruction caused by the formation of a cholecystoduodenal fistula with subsequent migration and impaction of a large gallstone into the duodenum. A case of a 59-year-old male who presented to our institution with consistent abdominal pain and nausea is reported herein. Bouveret's syndrome was diagnosed after conducting a computed tomography scan. Surgery was performed wherein gallstone removal was followed by cholecystectomy and fistula repair associated with a pyloric bypass via gastro-jejunostomy. The patient recovered well following surgery and has remained free of symptoms for the last year.
