Blunt abdominal trauma leading to gallbladder injury is rare and presents a diagnostic challenge. Here, we present scenario of gallbladder perforation due a blow from a fist to the abdomen.
A 30-years old male patient was admitted to University of Gondar comprehensive specialized hospital emergency department in Ethiopia due to blow from a fist on the right upper abdomen with a presumptive diagnosis of generalized peritonitis and underwent emergency laparotomy. The operative finding showed that, gallbladder was perforated at the fundus and a cholecystectomy was done. Postoperative time was uneventful and discharged on the 5th postoperative day.
Isolated gallbladder injury from a fist fight is rare, however, should be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients presenting with abdominal pain following minor blunt abdominal trauma.
钝性腹部创伤导致胆囊损伤较为罕见,且诊断具有挑战性。在此,我们呈现一例因腹部受拳击导致胆囊穿孔的病例。
一名30岁男性患者因右上腹受拳击被送至埃塞俄比亚贡德尔大学综合专科医院急诊科,初步诊断为弥漫性腹膜炎,随后接受了急诊剖腹手术。手术发现胆囊底部穿孔,遂行胆囊切除术。术后恢复顺利,术后第5天出院。
因斗殴导致的孤立性胆囊损伤罕见,但在轻度钝性腹部创伤后出现腹痛的患者鉴别诊断中应予以考虑。
