✦ Synopsis

Abstract

Jejunal diverticula are rare. Enterolith ileus, the least‐encountered complication among patients with jejunal diverticula, is incidentally found at surgery or during imaging studies such as radiography, CT, or endoscopy. We report the case of a 71‐year‐old man with enterolith ileus involving the jejunum that was initially detected using abdominal sonography and subsequently confirmed with abdominal CT and surgery. Enterolith ileus should be considered in the differential diagnosis of small bowel obstruction. Abdominal sonography may contribute to the early diagnosis of this condition.
