Abstract

Gall bladder related disease is now one of the commonest indications for elective and emergency surgery and laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the mainstay treatment in patients with gall bladder stones, however some patient delay their surgical intervention for some period of time which might lead to life threatening complications in later stages such as GBP which is rarest but when it occurs along with other predisposing risk factors (hypoalbuminemia and SIRS) might increase the morbidity and mortality rate. Here we report a case of pre-operative Type-I GBP with generalized biliary peritonitis with sepsis with hypoalbuminemia in younger age group. Acute cholecystitis patient of younger age group without any comorbid illness, needs prompt surgical intervention (cholecystectomy).
