Abstract
Multiseptate gallbladder is one of the rare congenital malformations of the gallbladder. We present clinical and ultrasonographic findings in seven patients with multiseptate gallbladder. One of them had nausea and right upper quadrant pain, three had recurrent abdominal pain, while the remaining three patients had no symptoms, physical finding and laboratory abnormality which could be attributable to the biliary system. In patients with multiseptate gallbladder, disturbed motility of the gallbladder may be an etiopathogenetic factor for stasis of bile flow and in turn for development of cholelithiasis, cholecystitis and right upper quadrant pain.
