    Computed tomography (CT) can identify complications of cholecystitis, such as abscesses, but struggles with nonspecific findings like gallbladder size and gallstones.

    Area of Science:

    • Radiology
    • Abdominal Imaging
    • Surgical Pathology

    Background:

    • Cholecystitis is a common condition requiring accurate diagnosis.
    • Complicated cholecystitis presents diagnostic challenges.
    • Computed tomography (CT) is a key imaging modality in abdominal diagnostics.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of CT in diagnosing complicated cholecystitis.
    • To identify specific CT findings indicative of cholecystitis complications.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 23 patients with complicated cholecystitis.
    • Correlation of CT findings with surgical or autopsy results.
    • Assessment of gallbladder size, wall thickness, bile density, and presence of gallstones, pericholecystitis, inflammatory lesions, and abscesses.

    Main Results:

    • CT findings for gallbladder size, wall thickness, and bile density were nonspecific.
    • CT had difficulty in identifying gallstones as the primary diagnostic sign.
    • CT effectively demonstrated pericholecystitis, inflammatory lesions, and abscess formation, indicating complications.

    Conclusions:

    • CT is valuable for detecting complications of cholecystitis, especially abscesses.
    • Nonspecific CT findings necessitate careful interpretation in the context of suspected cholecystitis.
    • CT plays a crucial role in identifying advanced stages and complications of gallbladder inflammation.
