AB  - Gall bladder perforation (GBP) is a rare and life-threatening complication of 
      acute cholecystitis that requires immediate intervention. The diagnosis itself 
      poses a diagnostic challenge, if the patient presents after the perforation of 
      the gall bladder, especially if the initial imaging techniques such as 
      ultrasonogram (US), computed tomography (CT) scan, hepatobiliary iminodiacetic 
      acid (HIDA) scan and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) are 
      inconclusive. Subtle clues such as free fluid around gall bladder and contracted 
      gall bladder should warrant the clinician as these might be the only clues 
      suggestive of gall bladder perforation. Here we describe a case of GBP 
      successfully diagnosed by peritoneal drainage and analysis and subsequently 
      managed by endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and open 
      cholecystectomy.
