Fatty meal ultrasonography in chronic acalculous cholecystitis
Chronic acalculous cholecystits typically presents with biliary symptoms, normal blood tests and unremarkable ultrasound, computerized tomography and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography. However, cholescintigraphy may show reduced gallbladder ejection fraction (GBEF). There are no reports on using ultrasound to measure GBEF in adults. Twenty-eight patients with the above presentation un...
متن کاملUsefulness of fatty meal-stimulated cholescintigraphy in the diagnosis and treatment of chronic acalculous cholecystitis.
OBJECTIVE Fatty meal cholescintigraphy (fatty meal CS) is a potential physiologic alternative for cholecystokinin (CCK) CS in the diagnosis and treatment of chronic acalculous cholecystitis (CAC). However, there are limited data in the literature to support this assumption. Our objective was to determine the usefulness of fatty meal CS in the diagnosis and treatment of CAC. METHODS We retrosp...
متن کاملCan gallbladder ejection fraction measured by fatty meal cholescitigraphy diagnose chronic cholecystitis?
Introduction: Despite presence of a body of evidence in support of high accuracy of cholecystokinin cholescintigraphy (CCK-CS) , for diagnosis of chronic cholecystitis(CC) , some authors have claimed that gallbladder ejection fraction (GBEF) has poor predictive diagnostic values. The purpose of this study was to determine if there is any difference in GBEF between...
متن کاملAcute acalculous perforated cholecystitis.
A case of acute acalculous perforated cholecystitis with acute generalized peritonitis in a middle aged cachectic man, presenting late in a moribund condition, is reported. He underwent emergency laparotomy (subtotal cholecystectomy), went into multi-organ failure and was managed accordingly. The patient recovered in about 2 weeks and was followed-up regularly.
متن کاملAcalculous Hemorrhagic Cholecystitis with Chronic Intraluminal Hematoma: MRI Findings
Acalculous hemorrhagic cholecystitis is a rare complication of acute cholecystitis and is associated with a high mortality rate. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is usually not performed for the diagnosis of acute cholecystitis, but it is a valuable imaging modality and affords excellent tissue contrast for the diagnosis of hemorrhagic cholecystitis and the detection of hematoma within the gall...
