    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Medical Imaging
    • Surgical Complications

    Background:

    • Cholelithiasis (gallstones) can lead to severe complications, including gallbladder perforation.
    • Early and accurate diagnosis of gallbladder perforation is crucial for patient management.
    • Ultrasound is a readily available and non-invasive imaging modality for abdominal diagnostics.

    Observation:

    • This report details four cases of gallbladder perforation diagnosed via ultrasound.
    • Distinctive sonographic patterns were identified, correlating with the location of the perforation.
    • Clinical presentation, particularly sudden right upper quadrant pain in elderly patients with cholelithiasis, warrants suspicion.

    Findings:

    • Ultrasound demonstrated specific patterns indicative of gallbladder wall perforation.

  • The sonographic findings varied based on the site of perforation.
  • Successful diagnosis was achieved in all four reported cases using ultrasound.

    • Implications:

    • Ultrasound is a valuable tool for diagnosing gallbladder perforation.
    • Recognizing specific sonographic patterns can aid in early detection.
    • Increased clinical suspicion in high-risk patients can improve diagnostic timeliness.
