Bicameral Gallbladder With Chronic Cholecystitis on Hepatobiliary Scintigraphy

Clin Nucl Med. 2021 Jan;46(1):78-80. doi: 10.1097/RLU.0000000000003369.

Abstract

Bicameral gallbladder, also known as segmental adenomyomatosis, is not a rare benign condition with the lumen divided into 2 interconnected chambers. Here we present 2 interesting cases of the bicameral gallbladder, which shows unremarkable findings on hepatobiliary scintigraphy at first appearance. However, the CT scan revealed that the fundal chamber was not visualized on the scintigraphy unlike the ductal chamber. These cases suggest that the findings of the bicameral gallbladder on hepatobiliary scintigraphy can lead to misdiagnosis without carefully correlating with anatomic imaging findings.
