Emphysematous Cholecystitis
• EC is a severe form of acute colesystitis.• Rapidly fatal, risk for gangrene and perforation, high risk
mortality.• Life-threathening anaerobic infection. Gas-forming
bacteria (Clostridium welchii/perfingrens, Escherichia coli and Bacteroides fragilis)• Men are affected twice as commonly as women. Mostly
patients are between 50 and 70 years of age, and have underlying diabetes melitus.• Can be detected using CT or USG. Gas in gallblader or
abnormal communication with GIT• Pain in right upper quadrant.
Plain Abdominal Radiograph
Abdominal radiograph (frontal projection) shows intraluminal air (arrow) with air–fluid levels

USG
Sagittal (A) and axial (B) USG images show sludge (black arrow) and wall thickening (arrow in A) of the gall bladder, consistent with acute cholecystitis with echogenic shadowing foci (arrow in B) within the biliary system

Sagittal USG image of the gall bladder shows multiple speckled echogenic bands (arrows), with acoustic shadowing within its wall (arrowhead)

CT
Axial CT scan shows air (arrow) in the gall bladder lumen with an air–fluid level

Axial CT scan shows intramural air in the gall bladder (arrow), with cholelithiasis (arrowhead)

Axial CT scan (A) shows an inflamed gall bladder with questionable air in the gall bladder wall (arrow). Coronal reformation (B) confirms air within the gall bladder wall (arrow) suggesting emphysematous cholecystitis

MRI
Coronal heavily T2-weighted magnetic resonance image shows numerous signal void bubbles (arrowheads) in the lumina of the distended gallbladder and the common bile duct.Courtesy of Radiological Society of North America (RSNA), originally published in Watanabe Y, Nagayama M, Okumura A, et al. MR imaging of acute biliary disorders. RadioGraphics 2007;27:477-95.
