Abstract

Introduction

Multiseptate gallbladder is a rare congenital condition that may be asymptomatic or may lead to symptoms consistent with biliary colic, even in the absence of cholelithiasis.

Discussion

We present the case of a 19-year-old female who underwent an extensive gastrointestinal workup before she was referred for cholecystectomy, which led to resolution of her symptoms. The distinct imaging features of this entity are presented.
