Acalculous cholecystitis complicating hepatic intraarterial lipiodol: case report.
Hepatic intraarterial injection of Lipiodol has been used by various authors to enhance the diagnostic accuracy of computed tomography in hepatic tumors. The technique appears safe and seems free from serious complications when used judiciously. We report a case in which injection of hepatic intraarterial Lipiodol precipitated acalculous cholecystitis requiring urgent laparotomy.
