ABSTRACT
RATIONALE Multiseptate gallbladder (MSG) is a rare congenital gallbladder anomaly. Between 1963 and June 2021, only 56 cases were reported. There is currently no treatment guideline for pediatric or adult cases of MSG. PATIENT CONCERNS A 14-year-old woman visited our out-patient clinic in September 2020 for epigastric pain that last for 6âmonths. Honeycomb appearance of the gallbladder was noted under ultrasonography. DIAGNOSIS The patient was diagnosed with MSG. The diagnosis was confirmed through computed tomography and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography. INTERVENTIONS:
Cholecystectomy was performed.OUTCOMES:
Epigastric pain showed limited improvement after the surgery. Since she was diagnosed with gastritis at the same time, a proton-pump inhibitor was prescribed. Epigastric pain was eventually resolved. LESSONS MSG cases can undergo cholecystectomy and show good recovery without complications. However, concomitant treatment may be required to resolve in the presence of other symptoms such as epigastric pain.
