ALVEOLAR BILIARY VESICULAR: A Case Report on a Rare Anatomical Variation

Multiseptate gallbladder is a congenital alteration in the formation of this organ, resulting in septa in the lumen of the gallbladder. Cases of patients with this condition is quite rare in the world database, which means that the amount of papers published on this subject can be hard to find and in a few numbers. These conditions usually do not lead to symptoms in which a patient can live the entire life without a diagnosis; however, some patients may present an association with another pathology, especially in the abdominal region, which leads to an evaluation of the gallbladder and diagnosis of this septa. The main ways to diagnose this condition are through imaging tests, such as ultrasonography and computed tomography, which allow the perception of the wall, volume, consistence and lumen of this organ. Therefore, the present case report presents a picture of an asymptomatic patient diagnosed with multiseptate gallbladder. In addition, a review of the literature on the similar case reports presents in databases such as PubMed is included. Applying the knowledge acquired from the literature found it’s possible to understand that this condition occurs because of an alteration on the process that forms the gallbladder and it can manifest with symptoms or it can stay asymptomatic and just be found by accident. When this condition creates symptoms, the patient may need to go through a surgical procedure, like a cholecystectomy, but its only necessary in the presence of manifestations, otherwise, the patient can live a normal life with treating this alteration.
