Overview

Historical Perspective

  • The word ileus has been derived from the word "είλειν" which means to twist. The word "είλειν" also gave rise to the section of the bowel termed as "ileum".
  • In 1654, Thomas Bartholin was the first to describe a case of gallstone ileus in a necroscopy study.[1]
  • In 1958, Robertson, Eddy, and Vosseler were the first to describe a case of adynamic ileus associated with cecal perforation.[2]
