A hallmark finding of ascending cholangitis on ultrasound is
thickening of the walls of the bile ducts in the appropriate clinical setting
acute choleCYSTITIS vs acute cholangitis
acute choleCYSTIitis - just the gallbladder
cholangitis is the biliary tree
The development of acute calculous cholecystitis follows a sequence of events:
gallstone obstruction of the gallbladder neck or cystic duct
inflammation from chemical injury of the mucosa by bile salts
reactive production of mucus, leading to increased intraluminal pressure and distention
increased luminal distention restricting blood flow to the gallbladder wall (gallbladder hydrops)
increasing wall thickness from oedema and inflammatory changes
secondary bacterial infection in ~66% of patients
The most sensitive US finding in acute cholecystitis is
the presence of cholelithiasis in combination with the sonographic Murphy sign
Both gallbladder wall thickening (>3 mm) and pericholecystic fluid are secondary findings.
Heterotopic ossification refers to
