Introduction
The occurrence of acute lithiasis cholangitis is rare during pregnancy.
Its incidence doesn’t exceed 1/1200 parturient. It represents less than
7% of causes of jaundice in pregnant women [1]. Acute cholangitis
is a medical-surgical emergency that can threaten the vital prognosis of
both mother and fetus, because of multivisceral complications caused by
severe sepsis [2]. Clinical presentation is variable, ranging from
simple pain in right hypochondrium to septic shock [3]. Medical
imaging may be helpful to make diagnosis, in combination with other
clinical and biological findings [4]. The aim of our study was to
describe clinical and morphological features of acute cholangitis in
pregnant women, as well as management modalities.
