Natural History, Complications, and Prognosis
Natural History
- The symptoms of (disease name) usually develop in the first/ second/ third decade of life, and start with symptoms such as ___.
- The symptoms of (disease name) typically develop ___ years after exposure to ___.
- If left untreated, [#]% of patients with [disease name] may progress to develop [manifestation 1], [manifestation 2], and [manifestation 3].
Complications
Common complications of acute cholecystitis include:[1][2][3][4][5]
- Gangrene of Gall Bladder:
- Gangrene of Gall Bladder is the most common complication of acute cholecystitis if left untreated and in elderly patients with an underlying disease of diabetes.
- Perforation
- Perforation of Gall Bladder results due to the gangrene of the gall bladder and leads to pericholecystic abscess. Peritonitis may also occur as a result of gall bladder perforation these patients develop septicemia and have a high mortality rate.
- Cholecystoenteric fistula usually occurs due to the perforation of gall bladder directly into the duodenum or jejunum.
- Emphysematous cholecystitis
- Gallstone ileus
