Abstrakt: The clinical and radiographic findings of emphysematous cholecystitis are usually characteristic. However, on occasion the radiographic findings may be simulated by other processes. In such circumstances accurate diagnosis can usually be rapidly established by a variety of simple radio-graphic maneuvers and procedures. Five illustrative cases are presented herein and the pertinent literature is reviewed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
