Edema of the gallbladder may pose a diagnostic challenge because it also occurs in patients without an indication for cholecystectomy.We evaluated all consecutive patients with gallstone disease who presented for cholecystectomy at the Department of Surgery Inflammatory gallbladder disease is not usually considered in the evaluation of septic newborn infants. When present, the radiographic findings are thought to be sparse. Three instances were recently encountered with radiographic evidence to indicate right upper quadrant abdominal disease. In one, a
Ultrasonically guided percutaneous transhepatic gallbladder aspiration (UG-PTGA) was used in the treatment of hydrops caused by acute cholecystitis in 21 patients. The interventions had no complications. This kind of aspiration is believed to be suitable for the relief of gallbladder tension causing
OBJECTIVE
Although laparoscopic cholecystectomy already occupies an important role in acute cholecystitis, a high rate of conversion continues to be referred to in the series published. One of the objectives of this study is to assess the preoperative factors that might lead to
A 15-year-old boy with Crohn's ileocolitis developed marked gallbladder enlargement. Ultrasonographic findings were consistent with acalculous cholecystitis (AAC) or hydrops. At laparotomy a gangrenous gallbladder was found. The diagnostic modalities currently used to distinguish between hydrops, a
BACKGROUND
Acute acalculous cholecystitis (AAC) is a potentially fatal condition mainly affecting critically ill patients. Current experience from computed tomography (CT) findings in AAC is contradictory.
METHODS
CT images of 127 mixed medical-surgical intensive care unit patients were
A rare complication of calculous cholecystitis (calculous that had migrated from the gallbladder and held in a circumscribed peritoneal sac with no fistula between this and the gallbladder) was observed in a woman who had been suffering from dropsy of the gallbladder with calculi for some 13 years.
One hundred ninety-five patients with suspected acute cholecystitis (AC) underwent both hepatobiliary scintigraphy (HBS) and static gray-scale ultrasonography (US) to assess the relative value of each imaging modality in this clinical setting. HBS was performed after the intravenous injection of 5
Acute cholecystitis is a relatively common clinical entity characterized histopathologically by obstruction of the cystic duct due to either edema or stone or both. Thorough clinical assessment and selection of the appropriate diagnostic tests are crucial in making an early diagnosis before surgical
