Non-contrast computed tomography (CT) imaging of the head in coronal, sagittal, and axial planes revealed a distinct 1.7 x 2.2 x 1.4 cm peripherally enhancing fluid collection within the left inferior orbit, involving the inferior rectus (yellow circle). This lesion resulted in restricted extraocular motility due to structural compression of the left globe. Laboratory results showed a mildly elevated white blood cell count of 11.5/mm3 and otherwise normal results including C-reactive protein (CRP) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR).

Computed tomography (CT) of the abdomen and pelvis with contrast was ordered, and general surgery was consulted for the initial working diagnosis of acute appendicitis. However, the CT scan resulted with findings of a markedly distended gallbladder measuring approximately 14.5 x 4 centimeters (cm) with marked gallbladder wall thickening (magenta) and pericholecystic fat stranding (cyan). The appendix was not dilated and had no inflammatory changes or edema. Follow-up right upper quadrant ultrasound confirmed the diagnosis of acute cholecystitis.
