Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Biliary peritonitis is an infrequent cause of acute abdomen.
  • It disproportionately affects older individuals and carries a high mortality rate.
  • Diagnosis is often complicated by atypical and understated clinical manifestations.

Observation:

  • A significant percentage of biliary peritonitis cases arise as complications of medical procedures.
  • The authors present a case of a patient who opted against invasive interventions, allowing observation of the disease's natural progression.
  • This case highlights the clinical presentation, diagnostic workup, and natural course of biliary peritonitis.

Findings:

  • The study details the clinical picture, auxiliary examinations, and laboratory findings associated with biliary peritonitis.
