Abstract
Aim: To emphasise the importance of having a lower threshold for gall bladder perforation as a differential diagnosis in patients presenting with peritonitis of unknown etiology.
Case Report: A 66 yr old gentleman presented with abdominal pain and distension for 2 days after a binge drink of alcohol. Clinically patient was in peritonitis. Imaging studies were not significant except for free fluid in the abdomen. Laparotomy revealed 2 litres of bile in the peritoneal cavity with a perforation in the fundus of gall bladder. Cholecystectomy was done.
Conclusion: Due to high mortality and morbidity associated with gall bladder perforation, early diagnosis and surgical management is essential.
