“…The congenital malformations of the gallbladder are classified as anomalous forms, abnormal position, and absence. 9 The multiseptate gallbladder is a type of rare anomaly form, first described by Simon and Tandon in 1963. 2 The referred patient presented to the ER with severe biliary-like abdominal pain and was found to have a multiseptate gallbladder on US imaging.…”

Biliary dyskinesia due to a multiseptate gallbladder has been rarely described in literature. Septations within the lumen of the gallbladder can lead to bile resistance, causing symptoms of abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. The majority of cases are due to congenital malformation during the development of the gallbladder. Ultrasound (US) is usually sufficient to make the diagnosis, although other imaging techniques can be used for confirmation. We present the case of a 60-year-old female who presented to the emergency room (ER) with biliary pain due to septations in the lumen of her gallbladder.

“…These septa can involve the lumen of the entire gallbladder or only a portion (Karaca and others 2011). There is a female predominance, and the mean age at diagnosis is less than 30 years (Tan and others 1993, Yamamoto and others 2005). The embryogenic mechanism by which this congenital malformation develops is not clear.…”

A 12-year-old African lioness from a safari park presented with abdominal discomfort and severe jaundice. Postmortem examination revealed a tortuous gallbladder, divided internally by thin septa into multiple chambers. Microscopically, multiple sacculations separated by septa of loose fibrovascular tissue were seen. These sacculations had intercommunicating openings and pouch-like endings. The gallbladder epithelium showed diffuse coagulative necrosis, but numerous cystic formations were visible. Neither thickening of the gallbladder wall nor inflammatory infiltrates were identified. The lesion was diagnosed as multiseptate gallbladder, a rare congenital malformation described in human beings.

“…Only three of the 44 cases were associated with cholelithiasis [8, 12, 13], and one was associated with acute acalculous cholecystitis [14], but none of these were in children. The presence of an associated biliary tract abnormality is an important consideration in the assessment of MSG.…”

“…Biliary symptoms such as right upper quadrant pain, nausea and vomiting are the most common complaints in this condition, with 31 of the 44 cases presenting in this manner. Only three of the 44 cases were associated with cholelithiasis [ 8 , 12 , 13 ], and one was associated with acute acalculous cholecystitis [ 14 ], but none of these were in children. The presence of an associated biliary tract abnormality is an important consideration in the assessment of MSG.…”
