Acalculous cholecystitis has all findings similar to gallbladder inflammation except for the absence of gallbladder stones. The inflammation of the gallbladder is due to its distension. It occurs in people with a prolonged post-surgery recovery period, burns, sepsis, trauma, etc. Its signs and symptoms include nausea, vomiting, right-sided upper abdominal pain, palpable gallbladder, and fever. If left untreated, it may progress to form gangrene, abscess, and ultimately perforation. Hence treatment with intravenous antibiotics is necessary. The underlying medical condition must be managed, and if needed, surgical removal of the gallbladder may be done to prevent further complications.
