Gallbladder perforation after closed thoracoabdominal trauma, diagnosed and treated by ERCP

Rev Esp Enferm Dig. 2017 Apr;109(4):284-285.

Abstract

Single gallbladder injury after abdominal trauma is a rare finding. Early diagnosis of this disease is often difficult due to the variability of symptoms and unspecific results in the usual radiological tests. The usual management in patients with vesical trauma is surgery. We report a case of a patient with a gallbladder perforation after closed thoracoabdominal trauma diagnosed and treated with ERCP and a conservative management with good clinical evolution.
