    Acute non-lithiasic cholecystitis, often caused by cystic duct obstruction, requires prompt surgical intervention. Cholecystectomy is the recommended treatment for this gallbladder inflammation.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Pathology

    Background:

    • Acute cholecystitis is commonly associated with gallstones.
    • Non-lithiasic acute cholecystitis is a less frequent presentation.

    Observation:

    • This study reviewed 7 cases of acute non-lithiasic cholecystitis (1.5% of total acute cholecystitis cases).
    • In 6 cases, obstruction of the cystic duct without stones was the cause.
    • One case involved acute segmental cholecystitis due to a congenital gallbladder septum.

    Findings:

    • Non-lithiasic obstruction of the cystic duct is a primary cause of acute non-lithiasic cholecystitis.
    • Congenital anomalies like gallbladder septa can also lead to this condition.
    • Clinical and pathological features of this gallbladder inflammation were analyzed.

    Implications:

    • Early diagnosis and surgical management, specifically cholecystectomy, are crucial for treating acute non-lithiasic cholecystitis.
    • Understanding the origins in the biliary diverticular apparatus aids in therapeutic decisions.
    • This condition warrants consideration in the differential diagnosis of acute cholecystitis.
