Overview

Cholecystitis may be classified into acute and chronic forms, depending on the timing of presentation and duration. Cholecystitis may also be classified into calculous and acalculous forms, depending on the cause. Other variants of cholecystitis include xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis, emphysematous cholecystitis, eosinophilic and lymphoeosinophilic cholecystitis.

Classification

Cholecystitis can be classified depending upon acuity as:

  • Acute cholecystitis
  • Chronic cholecystitis

Cholecystitis can be classified based upon the cause as as:

  • Calculous cholecystitis (58%)
  • Acalculous cholecystitis (42%)[1]

Other types are:

  • Xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis
  • Emphysematous cholecystitis
