Case description

Video case: gallbladder hydrops, also known as hydropic gallbladder or mucocele of the gallbladder, occurs secondary to obstruction of the cystic duct, often by a gallstone. A diagnosis of gallbladder hydrops can be made when the gallbladder is distended with mucus, water, or clear liquid content instead of bile. It is caused by the prolonged blockage of the cystic duct, usually by an impacted gallstone. Patients who present with this condition experience acute or chronic cholecystitis, while most gallstones themselves are asymptomatic.
