title: [Echographic findings in gallbladder empyema].
abstract: Retrospectively the sonographic findings of 11 patients with proven empyema of the gallbladder were analysed. In one patient sonography only showed signs of cholelithiasis, whereas the other ten patients showed one or more signs of cholecystitis. Echogenic bile was established nine times, always connected with layering.
