ABSTRACT
A frequent medical consultation during guards is regarding
chronic lithiasic cholecystitis. The clinical presentation many
includes nausea, vomiting and right upper quadrant pain. The
diagnosis is made using a complete clinical history, detailed
physical evaluation, laboratory blood tests and a confirmatory
imaging method like an ultrasound. The treatment must be
surgical to avoid complications such as perforation, fistula,
piocolecisto or generalized peritonitis.
