title: [Acute non-lithiasic cholecystitis].
abstract: The authors present 7 cases of acute non-lithiasic cholecystitis, representing 1.5% of the total number of acute cholecystitis cases in their personal statistics. The determining factor of the acute inflammatory process of the gallbladder was represented in 6 of the cases by non-lithiasic obstruction of the cystic duct. In the last case there was acute segmental cholecystitis secondary to a gallbladder septum, probably of congenital origin. Clinical and anatomo-pathological aspects are discussed, of acute non-lithiasic cholecystites, the origin of which is located in the diverticular apparatus of the biliary pathways. From the therapeutical viewpoint cholecystectomy is the most indicated attitude in such cases.
