Abstract

Common diagnoses associated with right upper quadrant and epigastric pain include cholecystitis, peptic ulcer disease (PUD), biliary colic, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Multiseptate gallbladder is a rare congenital anomaly that can cause symptoms of biliary colic, however it may present with atypical symptoms, which can prolong definitive diagnosis and treatment. We present a case of multiseptate gallbladder in a 21-year-old female who initially presented with GERD and IBS. After multiple failed treatment regimens for IBS, she ultimately was found to have multiseptate gallbladder and was successfully treated with cholecystectomy.
