SP - 310 EP - 312 VL - 4 IS - 3 N2 - A case is reported of acute acalculous cholecystitis in a patient who suffered a digestive burn treated by total parenteral nutrition. Pain in the right upper abdominal quadrant and fever occurred 26 days after the start of parenteral nutrition and 24 h after abruptly resuming oral feeding. Ultrasonography showed a distended gall-bladder with a thickened wall and the formation of sludge. Cholecystectomy was followed by a complete recovery. The part played by each of the corrosive burn, the total parenteral nutrition and the abrupt resumption of oral feeding in the pathogenesis of this complication is reviewed.
