Multiseptate gallbladder diagnosed during pregnancy.b0a

Area of Science:

• Gastroenterology
• Surgical Case Reports
• Medical Imaging

Background:

• Multiseptate gallbladder is an extremely rare congenital anomaly.
• Its association with pregnancy and symptoms mimicking cholecystitis is uncommon.
• Diagnostic X-ray findings can aid in identifying this anomaly.

Purpose of the Study:

• To present a rare case of multiseptate gallbladder.
• To discuss its association with pregnancy and clinical presentation.
• To highlight the diagnostic features and recommended treatment.

Main Methods:

• Case report presentation.
• Review of relevant medical literature.
• Clinical and radiological assessment.

Main Results:

• A sixth case of multiseptate gallbladder is reported.
• The patient experienced symptoms during pregnancy, mimicking cholecystitis.
• No inflammation was found in the surgical specimen, suggesting pressure-related symptoms.
• X-ray imaging provided diagnostic clues.

Conclusions:

• Multiseptate gallbladder is rare, particularly during pregnancy.
• Symptoms may arise from delayed emptying and chamber pressure, not inflammation.
• Cholecystectomy is an effective treatment for symptom relief.
