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 کاملBrucellosis Associated with Acute Acalculous Cholecystitis
Brucellosis is a rare cause of acute acalculous cholecystitis. We report a 45-year-old, previously healthy, man with brucellosis who presented with abdominal pain due to cholecystitis.
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...
متن کاملAcute and chronic acalculous cholecystitis associated with aortic dissection
Acalculous cholecystitis is a rare but life-threatening disease, but its pathogenesis is not fully revealed yet. We experienced two acalculous cholecystitis cases associated with aortic dissection. In Case 1, acalculous cholecystitis occurred just after the exacerbation of the aortic dissection. Laparotomy showed necrotized cholecystitis with fresh thrombi formation. Case 2 developed acalculous...
متن کاملFunctional hepatobiliary disease: chronic acalculous gallbladder and chronic acalculous biliary disease.
Chronic acalculous gallbladder and chronic acalculous biliary disease are considered functional hepatobiliary diseases. Cholescintigraphy provides physiologic imaging of biliary drainage, making it ideally suited for their noninvasive diagnosis. For chronic acalculous gallbladder disease, calculation of a gallbladder ejection fraction during sincalide cholescintigraphy can confirm the clinical ...
