(2020) A Case Report of Acalculus Gall
Bladder Perforaton with Huge Abdominal
Cyst. J Univer Surg. Vol.8 No.6:2
Introducton
Gallbladder perforaton is a rare presentaton encountered in
the surgical emergency foor [1]. The most common mode of
presentaton of gall bladder perforaton is peritonits but the
pre-operatve diagnosis of gall bladder perforaton is difcult to
make especially where there is no availability of advance imaging
techniques like CT scan [2]. This delay can result in morbidity and
even mortality of the patent with signifcant infuence on the
outcomes. The reported incidence of gallbladder perforaton in
patents with acute cholecystts is 2–18% while the incidence of
gallbladder perforaton because of acalculous cholecystts is about
10 to 20%. The exact mechanism of gall bladder perforaton in
patents with acalculous cholecystts is not understood [3]. In some
patents of acalculous cholecystts the impacted stone in the cystc
duct fall back into gallbladder and this resolves the cholecystts while
if this infammaton don’t get resolved then persistent infammaton
causes the development of empyema which inurn leads to necrosis
and eventually perforaton [4]. In most of the cases where perforaton
occurs at fundus, omentum is least likely to cover the perforaton so
gross peritonits occurs. On the other hand, if perforaton occurs at
neck or the duct it is most commonly get sealed by omentum or the
intestnes which results in either local infammaton. The duraton of
symptoms may extend from one week to several months [5].
In this case report, we present a case report of 19-year female
presented to surgical emergency department with sign and
symptoms of huge intra-abdominal cyst. The patent had history

Abstract
Background: Gallbladder perforaton present in various forms with most common
is the peritonits. Most common causes include gallstones obstructng the cystc
duct and necrosis of gall bladder due to ischemia.
Case presentaton: A 19-year-old female presented in the emergency department
of EAST Surgical Ward of MAYO Hospital Lahore, Pakistan with history of abdominal
distension for 4 months for which she was counseled to be because of pregnancy.
She gave birth to healthy baby one month back but abdominal distension didn’t
resolve. On examinaton, she had distended and tender abdomen with visible
striae. She was tachycardiac with pulse of 124 per minute and blood pressure
of 110/80 mmHg. Fluid cytology showed negatve for malignant cells and total
leukocyte count of 17 × 10
9
/l. Abdominal ultrasound showed a huge thick-
walled cystc area with internal echoes measuring 31 cm × 19 cm × 19 cm with
total amount of fuid volume in the cyst was approximately 5 liters arising from
right hypochondrium. On opening the abdomen, a huge cyst was encountered
extending from epigastrium to pelvis with dense adhesions. Cyst was opened and
fuid aspirated. Communicaton between cysts was found with gall bladder inn the
epigastrium. Cyst wall was excised partally and cholecystectomy done. Patent
was discharged on 5th post-operatve day.
Conclusion: The development of thick-walled huge cyst within abdominal cavity
afer gall bladder perforaton is a rare entty especially when patent had gone
through full term pregnancy in the presence of cyst.
