The purpose of this study was to determine the diagnostic value of multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) imaging findings, to identify the most predictive findings, and to assess diagnostic performance in the diagnosis and differentiation of acute cholecystitis from chronic cholecystitis.In this retrospective study, we enrolled 382 consecutive patients with pathologically proven acute or chronic cholecystitis who underwent computed tomography (CT) within 1 month before surgery. Diagnosis. As the clinical and radiological findings of acute cholecystitis and chronic cholecystitis overlap, the combination of 2 or 3 of the 4 CT findings can provide efficient performance for the diagnosis and differentiation of acute from chronic cholecystitis.

Leukocytosis and abnormal liver function tests may not be present in these patients, unlike the acute disease. Transabdominal ultrasonography reliably documents the presence of cholelithiasis. Treatment of all types of cholecystitis is cholecystectomy as 90% of patients become asymptomatic. As gangrenous cholecystitis is a form of acute cholecystitis, exclusion of these cases was not appropriate for practical circumstances, and the relatively large population of the present study might have led to the significance of study results. [15]. questionnaire 288-294. Emphysematous cholecystitis is a rare and life threatening form of acute cholecystitis that requires immediate emergency medical treatment. [4] Furthermore, a recent comparison study of CT and MRI in the differentiation of acute from chronic cholecystitis showed better sensitivity and accuracy in individual findings on MRI compared to CT.[5] Although several studies reported moderate-to-excellent diagnostic performance by CT,[610] most of them occurred 15 years ago before the widespread use of multidetector CT (MDCT) and only observed the frequency of a specific variable, not the overall capacity of CT. Having cholecystitis means you should make important changes to your diet. < .001), and pericholecystic abscess (P [13,23] And because chronic cholecystitis can lead to chronic inflammation, fibrosis, and thickening of the gallbladder wall, imaging feature of inflamed wall overlaps significantly between acute and chronic cholecystitis. However most cases of chronic cholecystitis are commonly associated with cholelithiasis. The article contains a description of various clinical "masks" of chronic cholecystitis, which make the diagnosis more difficult: cardial, duodenal (gastrointestinal), rheumatic, solaralgic, allergic, pre-menstrual tension, and other masks, as well as a description of their differential diagnostic methods. [4], The gallbladder wall may be thickened to variable degrees, and there may be adhesions to the serosal surface.
