    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Critical Care

    Background:

    • Acute acalculous cholecystitis (GACC) is a rare gallbladder inflammation without stones.
    • GACC is associated with non-biliary surgery and multiple trauma.
    • High mortality rates are linked to delayed diagnosis and treatment.

    Observation:

    • Symptoms of GACC can be masked by primary conditions.
    • Three patient cases of GACC post-surgery or multitrauma are presented.
    • The condition requires increased clinical awareness.

    Findings:

    • Delayed diagnosis and treatment contribute to high mortality.
    • Early recognition of GACC is crucial for timely intervention.
    • Improved diagnostic strategies are needed for GACC.

    Implications:

    • Increased awareness of GACC can lead to earlier diagnosis.
    • Prompt treatment of GACC can improve patient outcomes.
    • Further research into GACC pathogenesis and management is warranted.
