PARTIAL MULTISEPTATE GALLBLADDER - SONOGRAPHIC APPEARANCE

Multiseptate gallbladder, a rare congenital anomaly, is characterized by the presence of multiple thin septa dividing the gallbladder lumen into various sized chambers, often with a honeycomb appearance. In nea rly all cases described previously, the entire gallbladder lumen was t raversed by the septa. We describe three children, ages 3, 9, and 16 y ears, with sonographic features of multiseptate gallbladder, in which the septa were confined to the body and neck of the gallbladder in two , and to the fundus in one. The CT features of the anomaly also are de scribed in one patient.
