title: [Experimental study of anatomo-pathological and physiopathological manifestations of acute cholecystitis].
abstract: From their experimental findings in 120 rabbits, the authors conclude that, at first, cholecystitis is usually an aseptic lesion and infection occurs only secondarily. In a large number of cases the initial physiopathological mechanism is that of inflammation which may be due to mechanical causes such as obstruction of the gall bladder siphon and vasomotor phenomena under autonomic control. The histological lesions and course are comparable to those observed in clinical medicine. The interest of this experimental study is to compare the pathology of acute cholecystitis with pancreatitis and Reilly's syndrome and Gregoire and Couvelaire's theory of visceral apoplexy.
