Abstract

Multi-septate gallbladder is a very rare anomaly. In this 13-years-old girl with a complaint of nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain, sonographic examination and oral cholecystogram demonstrated a normal size gallbladder with many thin septa. The longitudinal section of the removed gallbladder revealed multiple inter-communicating lobules divided by many thin septa. She has been free of the previous complaints after surgery. Only two pediatric cases have been reported previously. Our case illustrates the main features of this entity.
