Infected peri-pancreatic necrosis causing gallbladder necrosis by direct extension
HPB Surg.
1993 Aug.
Abstract
Acute acalculous cholecystitis may develop in patients suffering from necrotizing pancreatitis. Conversely, acute pancreatitis may complicate acute gallbladder disease. We present a case that lends support to the existence of another possibility: gallbladder necrosis caused by direct extension of the necrotizing pancreatitic process.
