Abstract
This article focuses on a study related to the endoscopic view of a gall stone impacted in the duodenum. In the present case, a 72 year old man presented with severe episodic upper abdominal pain which settled spontaneously. He was left with recurrent vomiting requiring placement of a nasogastric tube. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed a gall stone impacted in the first part of the duodenum. The postoperative period was complicated by an ischaemic cardiovascular accident from which the patient is now recovering.
