LAPAROSCOPY AND ACALCULOUS CHOLECYSTITIS

Australian and New Zealand Journal of Surgery, 1994

This paper reviews a series of 13 patients who presented with symptoms of cholecystitis and who had normal ultrasound or cholecystogram examinations.

Acute Acalculous Cholecystitis: A Review

Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology, 2010
Although recognized for more than 150 years, acute acalculous cholecystitis (AAC) remains an elusive diagnosis. This is likely because of the complex clinical setting in which this entity develops, the lack of large prospective controlled trials that evaluate various diagnostic modalities, and thus dependence on a small data base for clinical decision ...

Acute acalculous cholecystitis, like calculous cholecystitis, generally shows diffuse inflammation throughout the gallbladder and cystic duct obstruction. Nonvisualization of the gallbladder on hepatobiliary scanning is typical [1 , 2]. We report an unusual case of acute acalculous cholecystitis in which acute inflammation was focal but severe enough ...

Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, 1986
Sir .—The report by Traynelis and Hrabovsky 1 concluded that the treatment of "acute cholecystitis" in the neonate is surgery. They based this conclusion on their description of a single patient whose palpable gallbladder was diagnosed by ultrasound to have sludging, was noted to function poorly on a technetium Tc 99m paraisopropyl iminodiacetic acid ...
