Abstract:
Gallbladder-duodenal fistula,a severe complication of cholecystitis caused by gallstones,is clinically rare.Its clinical presentation lacks specificity,and conventional preoperative imaging often fails to establish a definitive diagnosis.This report describes a case where a gallbladder-duodenal fistula was diagnosed using oral microbubble ultrasound contrast agent for gastric-duodenal contrast-enhanced ultrasound,providing a novel approach for diagnosing this condition.
