Abstract

The computed tomographic findings in a case of complicated acute cholecystitis after surgery unrelated to the biliary tree are described. Postoperative cholecystitis is associated with high morbidity and mortality, and early diagnosis by appropriate imaging modalities and prompt surgical intervention is essential in the successful management of this complication.
