Emphysematous cholecystitis with gallbladder perforation is rare, with only nine prior reports. Early surgical intervention and antibiotics led to a successful outcome in this case.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Case Reports

Background:

  • Emphysematous cholecystitis is a rare variant of acute cholecystitis characterized by gas within the gallbladder wall and lumen.
  • Gallbladder perforation is a severe complication, leading to potential peritonitis and sepsis.

Observation:

  • This report details a rare case of emphysematous cholecystitis complicated by gallbladder perforation.
  • The perforation resulted in the presence of free intraperitoneal gas, a critical radiological finding.

Findings:

  • The case represents the tenth documented instance of emphysematous cholecystitis with perforation.
  • Successful management was achieved through prompt surgical intervention.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of early surgical diagnosis and treatment for emphysematous cholecystitis with perforation.
