Abstract
Gallstones are usually asymptomatic in the majority of patients. Gallstones can migrate through a cholecystoduodenal fistula and may cause an intestinal obstruction anywhere along the gastrointestinal tract. The obstruction usually occurs at the level of the ileocecal valve. In most cases, the clinical presentation includes symptoms related to the intestinal obstruction including abdominal pain and vomiting. We report an unusual case of gallstones presented with acute prerenal azotemia as the major manifestation.
