title: [Emphysematous cholecystitis: percutaneous treatment].
abstract: We present two patients with emphysematous cholecystitis treated successfully by means of percutaneous cholecystostomy. We emphasize the high mortality rate of the disease, and the good response achieved with the percutaneous technique, as well as the low complication rate of the procedure.
