ABSTRACT
Cholecystitis should be considered in the evaluation of any pregnant woman with abdominal complaints. Acute cholecystitis can mimic many other intra-abdominal problems, both obstetric and nonobstetric. Most patients respond to conservative management, with minimal increase in maternal or fetal morbidity and mortality. A few will not respond to therapy or will have severe complications requiring more aggressive management, including surgery.
