Аннотация
INTRODUCTION AND IMPORTANCE: Biliary ileus is a rare yet potentially life-threatening cause of mechanical intestinal obstruction, predominantly affecting elderly, comorbid patients. Often underdiagnosed due to non-specific symptoms, it can now be detected earlier with point-of-care ultrasound (PoCUS).
CASE PRESENTATION: We present the case of an 85-year-old male with non-specific abdominal symptoms where PoCUS at the bedside facilitated early identification of a distal ileal stone, significantly expediting radiological confirmation and surgical management.
CLINICAL DISCUSSION: This case underscores the value of PoCUS in early diagnostic pathways, especially in frail or elderly patients, where rapid decision-making is critical.
CONCLUSION: Early use of PoCUS in patients with non-specific abdominal symptoms can facilitate timely diagnosis of biliary ileus and expedite appropriate management, ultimately improving patient outcomes.
