Isolated gallbladder perforation following blunt abdominal trauma.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 32-year-old man sustained an isolated perforation of the gallbladder following blunt abdominal trauma. A preoperative diagnosis was made on an ultrasound scan, which showed a pericholecystic fluid collection only. At laparotomy, a gallbladder perforation at the infundibulum was identified with a localised bile collection, warranting a cholecystectomy. Isolated gallbladder injury from blunt abdominal trauma is rare, and a high index of suspicion is required to establish the diagnosis. Cholecystectomy is the treatment of choice.

Negative predictive value achieved about 98% [1]. However, gallbladder injury is rare with incidence around 2.1% [2,3] in blunt abdominal trauma [2], and commonly associated with the solid organ injury or abdominal vascular injur...
متن کاملIsolated gallbladder perforation after blunt abdominal trauma in children.
Injury of the gallbladder after blunt abdominal trauma is rare. Isolated contusion of the gallbladder is exceptional because of its anatomical localization. It is protected by the liver, intestines, the omentum, and ribs. Its clinical presentation is often insidious, the reason why the diagnosis is often made during an exploring laparotomy. The delayed diagnosis is often responsible for high mo...
