%0 Journal Article %T Biliary peritonitis from isolated gallbladder perforation on blunt abdominal trauma %A C. & Rickard %A J. %A Kubwimana %A O. %A Uwase %J Rwanda Medical Journal %D 2019 %X Isolated gallbladder perforation on blunt abdominal injury is a rare occurrence. Clinical presentation often involves an insidious onset of symptoms, with features of peritonitis presenting one week after trauma. Here we present a 17-year old patient with generalized peritonitis on traumatic blunt gallbladder perforation. He underwent exploratory laparotomy with cholecystectomy and abdominal washout. An uneventful recovery was achieved. A substantially better prognosis is gained upon prompt diagnosis and management of gallbladder perforation following blunt abdominal trauma %U http://www.bioline.org.br/abstract?id=rw19012&lang=en
