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

Admitted on 21.11.22 by a local practitioner with acute pain RUQ of the 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 USS this time showed a wall echo complex in the gallbladder fossa. A routine lap chole was performed, resulting in the end of the suffering.
