Abstract
Emphysematous cholecystitis is an acute abdominal disease characterized by gas in the gallbladder lumen and wall. Emphysematous cholecystitis and related cystic duct necrosis are rare, but if not noticed, they can cause a mortal picture up to perforation and sepsis. In this article, we present a case of emphysematous cholecystitis involving gangrenous gallbladder and necrotizing cystic duct, which developed suddenly in an immunosuppressive patient who presented to the emergency department with abdominal pain and was treated with rapid emergency successful surgery.
