ISOLATED TRAUMATIC INJURIES OF THE GALLBLADDER – TWO CASE REPORTS

Izolirane traumatske ozljede žučnog mjehura relativno su rijetka stanja koja mogu ugroziti život. U ovome radu prikazujemo dva bolesnika s izoliranom ozljedom žučnog mjehura i njihovu bolničku obradu, s naglaskom na doprinosu radiološke dijagnostike. Slikovne metode radiološke dijagnostike (ultrazvuk, višeslojna kompjutorizirana tomografija) imaju važno mjesto tijekom svih faza u bolničkom zbrinjavanju bolesnika s traumatskom ozljedom žučnog mjehura.Isolated traumatic injuries of the gallbladder are rare but, if inadequately recognized, potentially life-threatening conditions. In this paper we present two cases of treatment of isolated injuries with a special accent on the great contribution of the imaging diagnostic methods in both diagnosis and choosing the therapeutic approach of these conditions. Radiology imaging methods – ultrasound and computed tomography – have a significant role in all stages of the hospital treatment of patients with traumatic gallbladder injury, as well as in confi rming the uneventful recovery of these patients
