Multiseptate gallbladder is a rare congenital anomaly characterized by multiple intraluminal septa. While often asymptomatic, it can present with abdominal pain or complications, such as gallstones. Cases of multiseptate gallbladder with gallstones have been rarely reported. We describe the case of a 15-year-old girl with multiseptate gallbladder complicated by cholelithiasis. No other biliary ductal anomalies were identified. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy was performed and the gallstones were identified as bilirubin stones. Complete symptom relief was achieved postoperatively. This case highlights that multiseptate gallbladder may contribute to bile stasis and pigment stone formation, even in the absence of other congenital anomalies. Early imaging is essential to confirm the diagnosis and guide management. Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography enabled exclusion of associated anomalies, guiding management.
多隔胆囊是一种罕见的先天性异常,其特征为多个腔内隔膜。虽然通常无症状,但可能出现腹痛或并发症,如胆结石。多隔胆囊合并胆结石的病例鲜有报道。我们描述了一名15岁患有多隔胆囊并合并胆石症的女孩的病例。未发现其他胆管异常。进行了腹腔镜胆囊切除术,胆结石被鉴定为胆红素结石。术后症状完全缓解。该病例突出表明,即使没有其他先天性异常,多隔胆囊也可能导致胆汁淤积和色素结石形成。早期影像学检查对于确诊和指导治疗至关重要。磁共振胰胆管造影能够排除相关异常,指导治疗。
