    Gallbladder perforation can lead to perihepatic abscesses. Radionuclide cholescintigraphy showing a perihepatic "halo" and nonvisualization of the gallbladder suggests this diagnosis preoperatively.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Imaging
    • Surgical Pathology

    Background:

    • Gallbladder perforation is a rare but serious complication.
    • Early diagnosis is crucial for effective management and improved patient outcomes.

    Observation:

    • A case report details a 77-year-old female patient presenting with symptoms suggestive of gallbladder issues.
    • Diagnostic imaging revealed perihepatic abscess formation.
    • Key imaging findings included a perihepatic "halo" sign.

    Findings:

    • Radionuclide cholescintigraphy demonstrated nonvisualization of the gallbladder.
    • Abdominal ultrasonography also confirmed the presence of a perihepatic abscess.

    Implications:

    • The characteristic perihepatic "halo" on radionuclide cholescintigraphy, coupled with gallbladder nonvisualization, is a significant preoperative indicator of gallbladder perforation.
