    Multiseptate gallbladder, a rare anomaly, can mimic gallbladder inflammation, especially during pregnancy. Surgical removal (cholecystectomy) effectively relieves symptoms caused by chamber pressure, not inflammation.

    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.
