We reported a case of 79-year old woman with known largebowel diverticulosis presenting with small bowel obstructiondue to stone impaction-found on plain abdominal X-ray.Contrast studies demonstrated small bowel diverticulosis.At laparotomy,the gall bladder was normal with no stonesand no abnormal communication with small bowel-excludingthe possibility of a gallstone ileus.Analysis of the stonerevealed a composition of bile pigments and calcium oxalate.This was a rare case of small bowel obstruction due toenterolith formation-made distinctive by calcification(previously unreported in the proximal small bowel).
