Abstract

Patient aged 73 years, with a recent history of prolonged hospitalization for COVID infection. She presents as relevant health history arterial hypertension and mutism. She consults the emergency room due to anemic syndrome, abdominal pain and fever. Laboratory tests showed leukocytosis (14900/mm3) and anemia (hemoglobin 5.4 g/dL, hematocrit 17.3%). A multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) with EV contrast was also performed (Figures 1, 2, 3). The study showed a distended gallbladder with spontaneously hyperdense contents inside. Emergency laparotomy was performed.
