Posttraumatic acute cholecystitis. Relationship to the initial trauma.

Y Okada, R Tanabe, M Mukaida

    The American Journal of Forensic Medicine and Pathology
    |June 1, 1987
    PubMed
    Summary

    Posttraumatic acute cholecystitis, a fatal complication in trauma patients, differs from de novo cases. Histopathology, not gallstones, indicates a link between trauma and this condition.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Science
    • Pathology
    • Surgical Complications

    Background:

    • Posttraumatic acute cholecystitis is a severe, often fatal complication in trauma patients.
    • Its etiology differs from de novo cholecystitis, potentially involving bile stasis, ischemia, infection, sepsis, and the Shwarzman reaction or Factor XII activation.

    Observation:

    • A case report details a 53-year-old male with pelvic fractures who developed acute acalculous cholecystitis.
    • The patient died from multiple organ failure three weeks post-cholecystectomy.

    Findings:

    • Histopathological findings in this case suggest the Shwarzman reaction or Factor XII pathway activation.
    • The study posits that histopathological findings, rather than the presence of gallstones, determine the relationship between trauma and acute cholecystitis.

    Implications:

    • Posttraumatic acute cholecystitis is increasing in frequency despite advances in trauma care.
    • Careful evaluation of the relationship between initial trauma and this complication is crucial for patient survival.
