Gallbladder hemorrhage–An uncommon surgical emergency: A case report

Figure 1 Ultrasound scan. Distended gallbladder filled with non-homogeneous hyperechoic material and slightly dilated intrahepatic biliary tract, the common bile duct was not visible due to intestinal gas.

Figure 2 Computed tomography scan of intra- and extra-hepatic biliary ducts demonstrated wider dilatation.

Figure 3 Surgical specimen. A: When open cholecystectomy was performed, choledocotomy with Kehr tube apposition completed the surgery due to dilated hepatocoledocus (approximately 25 mm); B: When the gallbladder was inspected at the backtable, it appeared entirely occupied by clots.
