A case of pericholecystic abscess diagnosed by ultrasonography
Abstract:
Pericholecystic abscess is a serious complication of cholecystitis. Though preoperative diagnosis is easy by gray-scale ultrasonography, there has been no case reported in which the communication between pericholecystic abscess and the gallbladder was demonstrated ultrasonically. We experienced a case in which the communication route between a pericholecystic abscess and the gallbladder was successfully demonstrated by a real-time electric linear scanner. Furthermore, the abscess was successfully treated by percutaneous drainage following ultrasonically guided puncture. This success demonstrates that ultrasonography by a real-time scanner can be effective for diagnosis and treatment of acute cholecystitis and pericholecystic abscess.

Ultrasound I: Abdominal Ultrasonography
Abdominal ultrasonography, commonly known as abdominal ultrasound, is a vital, non-invasive medical imaging technique widely used in healthcare.
Procedure:
This diagnostic tool allows the clinician to visually inspect internal structures within the abdomen, including vital organs such as the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, kidneys, and spleen.
The abdominal ultrasound process begins with applying a special gel to the patient's skin over the abdomen. This gel enhances the...
