Hemorrhagic acalculous cholecystitis causing acute pancreatitis after trauma.
Hemobilia is an uncommonly recognized entity and postoperative acute acalculous cholecystitis is an uncommon clinical entity. Hemorrhagic acalculous cholecystitis causing pancreatitis has apparently not been reported before. We report the case of a multiple trauma victim who, several weeks after his initial injuries, developed acute pancreatitis secondary to hemobilia caused by postoperative hemorrhagic acalculous cholecystitis.
