Abstract
Rarely, biliary-enteric fistula can result in duodenal obstruction or Bouveret's syndrome. Boerhaave's syndrome is a distal esophageal rupture in the setting of severe emesis. This case is the first reported successful management of these clinical scenarios occurring simultaneously and highlights important features in presentation, diagnosis, and surgical treatment.
