- Title
Point-of-care ultrasonography in the diagnosis of hemorrhagic cholecystitis.

- Abstract
We performed point-of-care ultrasonography (POCUS), which showed heterogeneous echogenicity with layering that nearly filled the gallbladder lumen, without vascularity on colour Doppler ultrasonography. As no predisposing structural or vascular abnormalities were detected, we diagnosed hemorrhagic cholecystitis secondary to the recent initiation of antiplatelet therapy. (B) Colour Doppler ultrasonography of the gallbladder shows a lack of vascularity to the gallbladder wall and the echogenic material in the gallbladder lumen.
