The first case is a classic perforation, the second case is a sub-serosal rupture with dissection of the gall bladder wall. Cured by cholecystectomy. The heavy ethanol impregnation of both injured patients is emphasized as a contributing factor. Sonogram, peritoneal tap-lavage and eventually a retrograde cholangiogram are recommended for the diagnosis.
