Acalculous Hemorrhagic Cholecystitis with Chronic Intraluminal Hematoma: MRI Findings
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 gallbladder lumen. To our knowledge, there are a few reports of the MRI findings in hemorrhagic cholecystitis (1-3). We report the MRI findings in a case of hemorrhagic cholecystitis with intraluminal hematoma.
