A unique division of abdominal pain etiologies: Multiseptated gallbladder

Description

Abstract:
Isolated celiac artery dissection was first reported in 1959 and remains a rare phenomenon. Celiac artery dissection may occur in conjunction with aortic dissection or as an isolated event. Its incidence is less than superior mesenteric artery (SMA) dissection. Patients with isolated celiac artery dissection tend to be less symptomatic due to celiac artery communication with SMA. Here, we describe a middle-aged male with hypertension who presented with acute abdominal pain, and was found to have isolated, spontaneous celiac artery dissection.
Multiseptated or honeycomb gallbladder is an extremely rare variant described in only 150 cases worldwide. It has been commonly noted as a congential anomaly or among octogenarians. Here, we describe a young woman who presented with epigastric pain and recurrent burning sensation, and diagnosed to have multiseptated gallbladder.
