A RARE COMPLICATION OF A COMMON DISEASE - ANTERIOR ABDOMINAL WALL ABSCESS DUE TO SPONTANEOUS RUPTURE OF GALL BLADDER
Abstract
An anterior abdominal wall abscess due
to spontaneous rupture of gall bladder is
being presented because of its rarity in
the present century. In the 19th century
many cases have been reported. But
nowadays because of early recognition
of symptoms of cholecystitis and better
imaging modalities, cholecystitis is being
treated before such complications arise.
