Gallbladder01:17

Gallbladder

620
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...

Imaging Studies III: Gastrointestinal Motility Studies and Virtual Colonoscopy

109
This lesson explores three gastrointestinal imaging techniques: radionuclide testing, colonic transit studies, and virtual colonoscopy.
Radionuclide Testing
Radionuclide testing is a sophisticated medical technique for assessing gastrointestinal motility. It focuses on gastric emptying and colonic transit time. Radioactive markers track the movement of food through the digestive system, providing insights into gastrointestinal disorders.
In gastric emptying studies, a meal's liquid and...

Endoscopic Procedures V: ERCP01:26

Endoscopic Procedures V: ERCP

390
Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a diagnostic procedure that combines endoscopy and fluoroscopy to diagnose and treat conditions related to the bile ducts, pancreatic ducts, and gallbladder. This procedure is beneficial for identifying and addressing blockages, gallstones, strictures, and tumors within the biliary or pancreatic systems. ERCP is both diagnostic and therapeutic, offering the ability to visualize and treat identified problems in one session.

Imaging Studies III: Computed Tomography

28
DefinitionComputed Tomography (CT) of the genitourinary (GU) tract is a non-invasive imaging modality that utilizes X-rays and computer processing to generate detailed cross-sectional images of the urinary system, encompassing the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and adjacent structures such as the adrenal glands.PurposeCT scans of the GU tract serve several diagnostic and therapeutic purposes, including:Diagnosis of Urinary Tract Diseases: Detects kidney stones, tumors, cysts, and congenital...

Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan01:13

Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan

115
Radiological investigations are paramount in the diagnosis and management of various pulmonary diseases. Two essential investigations are the Pulmonary Angiogram and the Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Scan.
Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Gastroenterology
  • Anatomical Pathology

Background:

  • Triple gallbladder is an exceptionally rare congenital anatomical variation.
  • Its rarity presents significant diagnostic challenges for clinicians.
  • Accurate identification is crucial for appropriate patient management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review the literature on triple gallbladder cases.
  • To analyze the diagnostic efficacy of various imaging modalities.
  • To assess the association of triple gallbladder with pathological findings.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive systematic review of published literature from 1958 to 2022.
  • Inclusion of 20 previously reported cases plus one new case, totaling 21 patients.
  • Analysis of diagnostic imaging (ultrasound, CT, MRCP) and histopathological data.

Main Results:

  • Preoperative diagnosis was achieved in 43% of cases (9/21); 57% (12/21) were diagnosed intraoperatively.
  • MRCP demonstrated the highest diagnostic accuracy (100%), followed by CT (33%) and ultrasound (25%).
  • Histopathology revealed gallbladder mucosal metaplasia in 3 patients and papillary adenocarcinoma in one.

Conclusions:

  • Modern imaging techniques, especially MRCP, are vital for preoperative diagnosis of triple gallbladder.
  • Awareness of this anomaly is essential for surgeons and radiologists.
  • The association with metaplasia and adenocarcinoma necessitates careful follow-up and influences treatment decisions.
