Abstract

Acute acalculous cholecystitis (AAC) is an atypical and rare complication of acute viral hepatitis A which is endemic in developing countries. This can lead to gangrene and perforation of the wall of the gallbladder, which are rare compared to AAC of other origins requiring surgical intervention. Evolution is generally benign compared to AAC of other origins. We will present two cases that were diagnosed with atypical cholecystitis clinically and on ultrasound, hospitalized at the pediatric hospital of Rabat in Morocco for viral hepatitis A and they responded to conservative management.
