Özet

Gallbladder perforation is one of the rarely feared complications of acute cholecystitis. It is usually not seen very often, but it is seen in 10% (2-20). Despite radiological progresses, morbidity and mortality are high due to late diagnosis. The time of diagnosis and the general condition of the patient during diagnosis are very likely to affect mortality, so you have to be careful in these cases. Because it is a rare complication, it is not the first diagnosis that comes to mind in the preliminary diagnoses in the case of acute abdomen in cases of emergency. In this article we will present a series of complicated cases from the emergency department with gallbladder perforation. We would like to emphasize that gallbladder perforation with this case series presentation should be one of the diagnoses that should be kept in mind in emergency patients.
