Özet
Dear Editor,
Multiseptate gallbladder (MSG) is a rare congenital anomaly. MSG's clinical and
pathological findings were first described by Simon and Tandon in 1963 (1).
Although patients are usually asymptomatic, they can present with nonspecific
symptoms such as chronic right upper quadrant pain, nausea, and vomiting.
In this article, we aim to present the ultrasound (US) and magnetic resonance
cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) findings of a 12-year-old girl with MSG, who
had chronic right upper abdominal pain.
A 12-year-old girl, who had complaints of ongoing nausea and vomiting for 2
years accompanied by chronic right upper quadrant pain, was admitted to our
hospital. Her medical story did not include fever, jaundice, constipation,
diarrhoea, acholic stool, sickle-cell anaemia or other blood disorders. On physical
examination, we observed tenderness in the right upper quadrant. The patient's
complete blood count, urinalysis, transaminases, bilirubin, amylase, lactic
dehydrogenase, and alkaline phosphatase levels were normal. We did not detect
any parasites in the microscopic examination of the excrement sample.
