Gangrenous Cholecystitis Post Colonoscopy: a Case Report
Keywords:
cholecystitis, colonoscopy, complications.Abstract
Acute cholecystitis after colonoscopy has been described in the literature through case reports but is still rare. We report the case of a female patient not previously known to have gallstones who underwent a colonoscopy for colonic polyp surveillance. Sessile polyps were retrieved. She represented 24 hours later with abdominal pain. Clinical imaging revealed cholecystitis. She underwent an uneventful laparoscopic cholecystectomy and later discharged home.
