Jejunal diverticulitis with migration of a large, obstructing enterolith

Discussion:

Fascinating cases with jejunal diverticulitis followed by migration of the enterolith into the small bowel following treatment with antibiotics, causing a "gallstone ileus"-type small bowel obstruction, ultimately requiring surgical management.  

Notice how difficult it is to see the enterolith and appreciate it as the cause of obstruction!
