Abstract

We report a case of emphysematous cholecystitis in which tiny echogenic foci (gas bubbles) were observed rising from the dependent portion of the gallbladder, reminiscent of rising champagne bubbles. This striking and previously undescribed appearance on real-time sonography led to the correct diagnosis.
