Atraumatic Gb Perforation: Appearance at Usg With Surgical Correlation

Abstract

BACKGROUNDNon-traumatic Gallbladder (GB) perforation is a rare and severe complication of acute cholecystitis and cholelithiasis. This entity requires importance, because of associated high morbidity and mortality rates due to delay in diagnosis and treatment, since signs and symptoms of perforation do not differ significantly from those of uncomplicated cholecystitis. [1] We undertook the study to analyze patients diagnosed preoperatively as GB perforation with pericholecystic abscess or biloma formation on USG and confirmed at surgery.
