“…8,9 However, few reports have described gallbladder disease on transabdominal contrast-enhanced harmonic gray scale ultrasonography. 10,11 In this study, we examined the usefulness of transabdominal contrast-enhanced harmonic gray scale ultrasonography for differential diagnosis of gallbladder lesions 10 mm or larger in maximum diameter. To our knowledge, differentiation among gallbladder diseases with transabdominal contrast-enhanced harmonic gray scale ultrasonography has not been reported previously.…”

“…9,12 Contrastenhanced ultrasound can be helpful in diagnosing pool-like contrast leakage in cases of HC. 13 In noncontrast CT scans, it is possible to observe high-density intravesicular findings of blood clots. These findings can potentially be differential diagnoses for previously administered contrast agents or milk of calcium bile.…”

Hemorrhagic cholecystitis (HC) is a rare form of cholecystitis that may be caused by the progression of either calculous or acalculous cholecystitis, which has been reported sporadically as case reports. Acalculous cholecystitis is often diagnosed late and can be fulminant. HC without gallstones also can have a poor prognosis and be linked to a high mortality rate. Therefore, early detection, hemodynamic monitoring, and prompt treatment are essential to treat bleeding in cholecystitis. We report a case of hemorrhagic acalculous cholecystitis discovered during the examination and point-of-care ultrasound in a patient with pyogenic spondylodiscitis. The patient was referred with a chief complaint of liver dysfunction without bleeding tendencies or risk factors. Ultrasound revealed focal gallbladder wall irregularity, intraluminal membranes, and non-shadowing non-layering intraluminal echoes. Extravascular contrast leakage was exhibited on the computed tomography scan. The patient underwent emergency percutaneous drainage and subsequent cholecystectomy before developing major complications.

“…Despite the advantages of CEU in delineating the microcirculation of systemic organs and numerous investigations of its usefulness, [8][9][10] to our knowledge, there are few reports discussing the application of this method for visualizing the extravascular space. [11][12][13] In summary, although this report is limited to a single case, the use of CEU shows the potential to facilitate a prompt diagnosis of GI tract bleeding. Ultrasonography has been recognized as a simple, relatively inexpensive, and effective diagnostic procedure even for GI tract disorders.…”
