Abstract
Gallbladder perforation is a rare and severe complication of acute cholecystitis. Sonography is typically the first modality of choice for assessing gallbladder pathology due to its high sensitivity, portability, real-time imaging capability, and nonionizing technique. Gray-scale and color Doppler sonographic imaging may be equivocal for diagnosing perforation. In the presented case, gallbladder wall perforation was definitively diagnosed utilizing contrast-enhanced ultrasound, allowing for prompt treatment and a successful patient outcome.
