Abstract
The main cause of perforation of the gallbladder is cholecystitis with or without cholelithiasis. In old age,




spontaneous perforation of gallbladder can be due to decrease in its blood supply, which can be due to




atherosclerosis, focal vasospasm or localized vasculitis. Perforation of gallbladder is associated with high




morbidity and mortality, if left untreated. Here we report a case of a 60-year-old male with perforation of




gallbladder.
