Abstract

Gallbladder perforation has a high morbidity and mortality especially because of delayed diagnosis. Also, most of these cases are diagnosed only during surgery. Although a rare cause, it should be ruled out in cases where other causes of peritonitis cannot be established.

Keywords: Cholecystitis; Nepal; Niemeier; gallbladder perforation.
