Misdiagnosis of gallstones led to unnecessary hospitalization and potentially harmful treatments for a female patient. This case highlights the need for critical interpretation of diagnostic imaging and thorough clinical analysis.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Diagnostic Imaging
  • Clinical Medicine

Background:

  • Cholelithiasis diagnosis often relies on ultrasound, a common imaging technique.
  • Functional gastrointestinal disorders can present with varied and complex symptoms.
  • Post-cholecystectomy syndrome encompasses a range of digestive issues following gallbladder removal.

Observation:

  • A female patient presented with alimentary functional disorders after cholecystectomy.
  • Initial hospitalization was due to erroneously diagnosed cholelithiasis via ultrasound.
  • Discordant laboratory findings prompted further investigations.

Findings:

  • False positive results from diagnostic tests may have occurred.
  • Potential for treatments with serious health impacts due to misdiagnosis.
