Abstract

Portal cavernoma cholangiopathy (PCC) refers to morphological changes in the intrahepatic, extrahepatic biliary system, along with the gallbladder (GB), induced by portal cavernoma (PC). Acute acalculous cholecystitis (AAC) represents an infrequent clinical manifestation of PCC. Given the inadequacy of documentation within medical literature, AAC may go undiagnosed among patients with PC presenting symptoms of right upper quadrant pain. The current study aims to report a case of acute acalculous cholecystitis secondary to portal cavernoma, focusing on radiological findings, with a brief review of literature.
