Gallbladder hydrops or mucocele is usually due to the obstruction of the gallbladder by a gallstone. It is usually characterized by an increase in gallbladder volume, which remains clinically silent and is often incidentally diagnosed during exploratory laparotomy or laparoscopy. We report a rare case of acute calculous cholecystitis with gallbladder hydrops (measuring 17 cm in maximum dimension) due to the obstruction of the cystic duct by a gallstone in a 67-year-old female. We highlight the importance of early magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients with right upper quadrant (RUQ) pain to rule out gallbladder hydrops especially in those with a history of gallstones.
胆囊积水或黏液囊肿通常是由胆结石阻塞胆囊引起的。其通常的特征是胆囊体积增大，临床上无症状，常在剖腹探查术或腹腔镜检查时偶然被诊断出来。我们报告了一例罕见的急性结石性胆囊炎合并胆囊积水（最大直径达17厘米）的病例，该病例发生在一名67岁女性身上，是由胆结石阻塞胆囊管所致。我们强调了早期磁共振成像（MRI）对于右上腹（RUQ）疼痛患者排除胆囊积水的重要性，尤其是对于有胆结石病史的患者。
