Thrombosis of the gallbladder vein occurs rarely, and few clinical features have been reported. We report here with a case of gallbladder vein thrombosis presenting as acute peritonitis in a 75-year-old man.
The old man with sudden continuous abdominal pain resorted to the emergency room and treated for peritonitis associated with acute cholecystitis. The treatment failed to slow the progress of the disease, and massive ascites appeared with thickening of the gallbladder wall. Laparotomic investigation was conducted later.
