Dr. Sanjit Kumar Nayak | Dr. Debabrata Saha

Abstract: Gallbladder perforation is a rare complication of cholecystitis and cholelithiasis. The high morbidity and mortality rates associated with this condition are due to delays in diagnosis and treatment since signs and symptoms of perforation do not differ significantly from those of uncomplicated cholecystitis. Most of them are identified and confirmed by laparotomy as preoperative diagnosis is very rare, that is, on computed tomography scan and ultrasound. We report a case of spontaneous gallbladder perforation without prior attack of pain in a chronic alcoholics, who developed an acute gallbladder perforation presented with acute abdomen. And we discussed a review of the current literature in this article.
