Acute Acalculous Cholecystitis in a Severely Burned Patient : A Case Report

A 56-year-old woman, suffering from major third degree burns, had right hypochondric pain and fever on her 57th post-burn day. A diagnosis of acute acalculous cholecystitis was established by ultrasonography. Despite effective drainage of the gallbladder through PTGBD, the patient died of ARDS and septic shock on the 73rd post-burn day.

PTGBD is indicated in severely burned patients
