Abstract
ABSTRACT: A 64-year-old woman was diagnosed with emphysematous cholecystitis. An open cholecystectomy was performed immediately. After the cholecystectomy, jaundice and multiple bile duct strictures that were not present preoperatively appeared. The patient was diagnosed with sclerosing cholangitis secondary to emphysematous cholecystitis. Endoscopic biliary stenting and endoscopic biliary balloon dilatation were performed. However, jaundice did not improve. She developed candidemia 75 days after cholecystectomy. The patient died of multiple organ failures 92 days after cholecystectomy. Although rare, secondary sclerosing cholangitis occurred after emphysematous cholecystitis, and endoscopic treatment was ineffective in this case.
