    Author: Hussain T, Adams M, Ahmed M, Arshad N, Solkar M.
    Journal: Ann R Coll Surg Engl; 2016 Jul; 98(6):e88-91. PubMed ID: 27055407.
    Abstract:
    A spontaneous (non-traumatic) gallbladder perforation with gallstone disease is not common. Concomitant development of a liver abscess is a very rare complication observed in such cases. A few cases of intrahepatic gallbladder perforations with chronic liver abscesses have been described. However, a patient series summarising classical and atypical presentations, relevant imaging studies, and the role of surgical and non-surgical options are lacking. We report a short case series on this rare complication of intrahepatic gallbladder perforations and share our experience of management of this condition.
