“…Carter14 described biliary reflux or gallbladder dyskinesia associated with acute appendicitis that was relieved after an appendectomy. According to one hypothesis of the pathogenesis of concurrent appendicitis and cholecystitis, it is the result of direct bacterial invasion or translocation from the muscularis propria of a gangrenous appendix into the portal venous system 5.…”

Acute appendicitis and acute cholecystitis are some of the most common surgical emergencies in the emergency department. Both conditions are common causes of abdominal pain. We had a discussion about co-existing acute appendicitis and cholecystitis and if it is a myth. The concurrent presentation of acute appendicitis and cholecystitis is thought to be rare. A PubMed search of MEDLINE was performed using a combination of the keywords “acute appendicitis” and “acute cholecystitis” to obtain case reports. The search returned 11 case reports of co-existent acute appendicitis and acute cholecystitis. The aim of this review is to broaden the prospective of emergency physicians to consider more than one pathology as the cause of abdominal pain. The concurrent presentation of acute appendicitis and cholecystitis is rare but should be considered to avoid complications such as perforation and septicemia.

Acute cholecystitis is a very common acute abdominal disease that mostly indicates abdominal surgery. Appendiceal adhesion to the gallbladder is a very rare condition detected during laparoscopic surgery. A 54-year-old female patient, with a known case of diabetes and hypertension, presented with right upper quadrant abdominal pain of four months’ duration. The pain was increasing in severity and associated with fatty meals. She was diagnosed with acute cholecystitis and was sent to the operating room for laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Appendiceal adhesion to the gallbladder was found, and laparoscopic cholecystectomy and laparoscopic appendectomy were performed. Adhesion of the appendix to the gallbladder should be considered by general surgeons.
