Abstract

Acute acalculous cholecystitis (AAC) is defined as the inflammation of the bile duct without stone or biliary sludge. It is associated with high mortality and morbidity since it may lead to complications such as gangrene, perforation and empyema. According to the underlying cause, medical or surgical treatment is performed. The most important risk factors for the development of AAC in children are sepsis, shock, prolonged fasting, total parenteral nutrition and multiple blood transfusions. Acute acalculouscholecystitis also can occur as a rare complication of acute viral hepatitis. This report describes acute cholecystitis in two cases which developed as a result of hepatitis A virüs infection and resolved completely with supportive management.

Özet

Akut taşsız kolesistit (ATK), taş ve safra çamuru olmaksızın safra kesesininenflamasyonudur. Gangren, perforasyon ve ampiyem gibi komplikasyonlarasebep olduğu için yüksek mortalite ve morbidite ile ilişkilidir. Altta yatanhastalığa göre medikal veya cerrahi tedavi uygulanabilir. Çocuklarda sepsis,şok, uzamış açlık, total parenteral nutrisyon, çoklu kan transfüzyonu ATKgelişimi için en önemli risk faktörleridir. Ayrıca akut viral hepatitlerin nadir birkomplikasyonu olarak ATK gelişebilir. Bu yazıda hepatit A virüs enfeksiyonusonucu akut kolesistit gelişen ve destekleyici tedaviyle tamamen düzelen ikiolgu sunulacaktır.
