[Scintigraphic semeiotics of gallbladder anomalies in children].

Altogether 103 children with different variants of gallbladder abnormalities (deformities, bends, contractions, septa, diverticula) were examined using radionuclide cholescintigraphy with 99mTc-HIDA. Scintigraphic signs of organic lesion were characterized by symptoms associated with the unevenness of the filling of the gallbladder, its shape and contours. Their frequency depended on anatomical defect site. Changes in the cervical part (70%) and in the body area (60%) were better diagnosed. Changes in the gallbladder fundus (12.5%) were practically undetectable. The calculation of quantitative indices of gallbladder filling and motor function made it possible to objectify the gravity of organic change of the organ, the nature and degree of its functional compensation.
