Cholecystitis

Cholecystitis

Cholecystitis is inflammation of the gallbladder, most commonly caused by obstruction of the cystic duct. This blockage prevents bile from draining, leading to gallbladder distension, inflammation, and potentially serious complications. This condition may present acutely or chronically and can happen with or without gallstones.EtiologyAbout 95% of cholecystitis cases are calculous, caused by gallstones blocking the cystic duct, leading to bile accumulation and inflammation of the gallbladder...

Gallbladder

Gallbladder

The gallbladder is a small, pear-shaped organ that plays a crucial role in our digestive system. Measuring about 10 cm in length, it is comparable in size to a kiwi fruit and is located in a hollow area on the lower surface of the liver. The gallbladder's primary function is to store and concentrate bile, a fluid produced by the liver that aids in digestion.
The gallbladder's anatomy consists of three regions: the fundus, body, and neck. Extending from the neck, the cystic duct joins the common...

Chronic Bowel Disorders: Introduction

Chronic Bowel Disorders: Introduction

Chronic bowel diseases are a group of long-term conditions affecting the digestive tract, characterized by inflammation and damage to the gut lining. These conditions primarily include irritable bowel syndrome and inflammatory bowel disease.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a common disorder affecting the gastrointestinal tract. The distinctive feature is recurrent abdominal pain associated with altered bowel movements, manifesting as constipation, diarrhea, or fluctuating between both. The...

Summary

Congenital gallbladder anomalies are rare, with one case of ectopic intrahepatic gallbladder and gallstones found in Nepal. This discovery highlights the importance of recognizing such anatomical variations for safe surgical procedures.

Area of Science:

Anatomy
Surgical Pathology

Background:

Gallbladder (GB) anomalies are infrequently documented in anatomical studies.
Understanding GB variations is crucial for medical professionals, particularly surgeons and radiologists.

Observation:

A study examined 40 gallbladders from Nepalese cadavers during routine dissections.
The research focused on identifying any congenital developmental anomalies of the gallbladder.

Findings:

Congenital anomalies of the gallbladder were found to be exceedingly rare in the studied population.
One unique case of an ectopic partial intrahepatic gallbladder accompanied by cholelithiasis (gallstones) was identified.

Implications:

This is reportedly the first documented instance of an ectopic partial intrahepatic gallbladder in Nepal.
Awareness of such rare anomalies is vital for preventing surgical complications, such as hazardous cholecystectomy procedures.
