Abstract
Gallbladder (GB) perforation is a rare complication of acute acalculous cholecystitis. This complication mostly manifests as acute free perforation into the peritoneal cavity, subacute pericholecystic abscess, or chronic perforation with cholecystoenteric fistula. Perforation of the GB into the liver is extremely rare, and was reported only in adults, of whom all were treated surgically. The authors present an intrahepatic GB perforation secondary to acute acalculous cholecystitis, and its successful conservative management in a 13-year-old boy.
