A 50 years old male patient had to suffer for more than a year with different manifestations of gallstone disease:

Admitted with a local practitioner with acute pain RUQ abdomen, diagnosed as acute cholecystitis due to gallstones, largest stone being 14.5 mm. The ultrasound also reported wall thickening of the gallbladder wall, suggesting a longer history of the disease.

On 30.11.22, he was admitted again with a more severe attack of similar pain. This time, the ultrasound showed diffusedly thickened walls of the gallbladder, multiple stones and a possible collection in the fundal region, suggesting a perforation. A CT scan was suggested.

This reported distended gallbladder with diffusely thickened walls and multiple stones.

On 27.12.22 was admitted for lap chole. An US this time showed a wall echo complex in the gallbladder fossa. A routine lap chole was performed, resulting in the end of the suffering.
