Abstract:
Gall bladder perforation is a rare condition which is associated with significant mortality and morbidity. Here, we report a case of spontaneous gall bladder perforation following acute calculous cholecystitis with pericholecystic abscess identified on Gd-BOPTA-enhanced MR cholangiography (MRC) prior to laparoscopic surgery. The gall bladder perforation was confirmed via surgery with unremarkable recovery. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of Gd-BOPTA-enhanced MRC for this purpose.
