  • Title: Postoperative acalculous cholecystitis. A five-case study and a literature review.
    Author: Roeland A, Scohy JJ, Rutten P, Ledecq M.
    Journal: Acta Chir Belg; 1994; 94(2):86-9. PubMed ID: 8017156.
    Abstract:
    The study reports five cases of postoperative acute acalculous cholecystitis. Clinical symptoms are upper abdominal pain, fever, jaundice or an unexplained septic shock. Biology orients the diagnosis but only gallbladder ultrasonography and, to a lesser degree, hepatobiliary scintigraphy are really diagnostic. As mortality is high and increases with waiting, emergency cholecystectomy is the treatment of choice.
