ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To evaluate the significance of pericholecystic fat stranding on CT, and to compare it to other CT findings in patients with acute cholecystitis. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
The CT examinations of 14 patients with proven acute cholecystitis were retrospectively reviewed and evaluated for the presence of findings consistent with this diagnosis.RESULTS:
The most common CT finding was stranding of the pericholecystic fat (13 patients), followed by gallbladder distension (11 patients). Pericholecystic or perihepatic fluid was present in 6 patients in association with severe acute cholecystitis (6 patients) and biliary peritonitis (2 patients).CONCLUSION:
Stranding of the pericholecystic fat was the most common CT findings in patients with acute cholecystitis, followed by gallbladder distension.
