ABSTRACT

Acute cholecystitis is a complication of cholelithiasis, affecting most frequently the female form. Its clinical presentation is characterized mainly by a right upper quadrant pain associated with nausea, anorexia and fever. The diagnosis is based on clinical parameters and radiographic findings mainly on ultrasound. The definitive treatment is laparoscopic cholecystectomy to be done within 24 to 72 hours to reduce the risk of complications.
