Cholecystitis01:20

Cholecystitis

Cholecystitis is inflammation of the gallbladder, most commonly caused by obstruction of the cystic duct. This blockage prevents bile from draining, leading to gallbladder distension, inflammation, and potentially serious complications. This condition may present acutely or chronically and can happen with or without gallstones.EtiologyAbout 95% of cholecystitis cases are calculous, caused by gallstones blocking the cystic duct, leading to bile accumulation and inflammation of the gallbladder...

Endoscopic Procedures V: ERCP

Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a diagnostic procedure that combines endoscopy and fluoroscopy to diagnose and treat conditions related to the bile ducts, pancreatic ducts, and gallbladder. This procedure is beneficial for identifying and addressing blockages, gallstones, strictures, and tumors within the biliary or pancreatic systems. ERCP is both diagnostic and therapeutic, offering the ability to visualize and treat identified problems in one session.

Acute Pancreatitis I: Introduction01:25

Acute Pancreatitis I: Introduction

Acute pancreatitis is the sudden inflammation of the pancreas caused by the early activation of digestive enzymes, leading to the autodigestion of pancreatic tissue. This results in local inflammation and, in severe cases, systemic complications.EtiologyUnderstanding the underlying causes is crucial, as identifying the etiology guides treatment and anticipates complications. Acute pancreatitis can be triggered by various factors, typically grouped into the following clinical categories.Biliary...
Acute Pancreatitis I: Introduction01:27

Acute Pancreatitis I: Introduction

Pancreatitis is inflammation of the pancreas, an organ located behind the stomach. It can be either acute or chronic.
Acute pancreatitis is characterized by rapid inflammation of the pancreas, often caused by factors like gallstone blockage or excessive alcohol consumption. Chronic pancreatitis, on the other hand, is a slow, progressive inflammation that may result from long-term alcohol abuse, obstructions in the pancreatic duct, or genetic factors.
The causes of acute pancreatitis include:

Chronic Bowel Disorders: Introduction01:17

Chronic Bowel Disorders: Introduction

Chronic bowel diseases are a group of long-term conditions affecting the digestive tract, characterized by inflammation and damage to the gut lining. These conditions primarily include irritable bowel syndrome and inflammatory bowel disease.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a common disorder affecting the gastrointestinal tract. The distinctive feature is recurrent abdominal pain associated with altered bowel movements, manifesting as constipation, diarrhea, or fluctuating between both. The...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Eosinophilic cholecystitis, a rare gallbladder condition, presents like acute cholecystitis. Diagnosis requires over 90% eosinophilic infiltration in the gallbladder wall, confirmed by pathology in this case.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Eosinophilic cholecystitis is a rare condition mimicking acute cholecystitis.
  • Diagnosis relies on characteristic symptoms and >90% eosinophilic infiltration of the gallbladder wall.

Observation:

  • A 27-year-old woman experienced 10 years of periodic epigastric pain.
  • Standard biliary ultrasounds were normal; hepatobiliary scintigraphy indicated delayed gallbladder emptying.

Findings:

  • Endoscopic sphincterotomy was performed, followed by laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
  • Histopathology confirmed eosinophilic infiltration, diagnosing acute eosinophilic cholecystitis.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the diagnostic challenges of eosinophilic cholecystitis.
  • Emphasizes the importance of histopathological confirmation for rare gallbladder diseases.
