ABSTRACT
Hemocholecyst is defined as a hemorrhage into the gallbladder. It is a rare complication of anticoagulant therapies which can progress to spontaneous rupture of the gallbladder with hemorrhagic shock. We report the case of a 75-year old hypertensive, dyslipidemic man with hypertensive heart disease initially hospitalized for left hemiplegia. The patient received antiplatelet and anticoagulant therapy with low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) as prevention strategy. After 5 days of treatment the patient developed hemocholecyst and hemoperitoneum, confirmed by angio-abdominal computerized tomography scan in emergency assessment. The patient underwent cholecystectomy, hemostasis of the gallbladder fossa and evacuation of the hemoperitoneum.
