Which of the following best describes the primary condition of cholecystitis?
Inflammation of the gallbladder
Rupture of the gallbladder
Presence of gallstones without inflammation
Chronic enlargement of the gallbladder
Cholecystitis primarily refers to the inflammation of the gallbladder. This condition often results due to gallstones blocking the cystic duct, which leads to inflammation and infection. Other causes like tumors or infections can also lead to cholecystitis, but gallstone blockage remains the most prevalent. This answer correctly identifies the inflammatory nature of cholecystitis, which is central to understanding its management and treatment. Other options such as 'gallbladder rupture' or 'enlargement of the gallbladder' might occur as complications or symptoms, but they do not primarily define what cholecystitis is.
