“…The body surface area showed positive association with the width and volume of the gall bladder from this study, which agreed with the study performed by Ugwu 3 in 2007 and also several other studies. [10][11][12][13][14][15] Present study established that there is no significant difference in mean gall bladder-volume and wall thickness compared with other research works. The pattern of correlation between gall bladder-volume and demographic parameters, however, tend to vary among different studies.…”

“…This study showed weight and BSA positively correlated with the width, height and volume of the gall bladder. Yoo et al, 14 and Sari et al, 9 also showed a positive correlation between subject weight and gall bladder-volume among Asians. Present study didn't display any relationship between BMI and gall bladder length, width, height and volume, hence it concurrent with the study done by Caroli-Bose et al 7 However another study by Ugwu 3 in 2007 showed a relationship between BMI and gall bladder-volume.…”

“…There was no impact of age on gall bladder dimensions in this study, conflicting with the finding of Caroli-Bose et al, 7 that showed gall bladder volume was positively correlating with age. Also studies by Yoo et al, 14 and by Ngige et al, 13 had showed positive correlation between gall bladder-volume and age. It is significant to point that these studies were done among children population; so the cause for this could be due that most organs ascent to growth in size during the active growth phase.…”

Introduction: Diseases of the gallbladder (GB) do affect its size and wall thickness. GB diseases are common pathology frequently encountered in medical practice and presents as right upper quadrant pain. Ultrasonography is a comparatively safe, inexpensive and reproducible tool for assessing normal or diseased gall bladder. There is inadequate data about normal gall bladder dimensions. Study objective was to deliver sonographic assessment of gall bladder dimensions in normal adults. Material and Methods: 300 healthy adult volunteers, involving 160 males and 140 females were selected and performed ultrasound, following overnight fasting. Gall bladder length, width, height and wall thickness were measured for these subjects. Gall Bladder volume was designed by the ellipsoid formula. Statistical significance among the variables was performed with the Students t-test, through 'P' value of ≤0.05. Results: The mean age of subjects was 31.92 ±11.7 years. The mean values of the length (L), height (H), and width (W) of the gall bladder were 6.19±1.09 cm; 2.58±0.58 cm; and 2.82±0.59 cm, respectively. Mean gall bladder volume was 26.8±12.8 cm 3 and wall thickness 0.34±0.04 cm. Age and gender did not show significant effect on gall bladder measurements. Conclusion: A normal range of gall bladder dimensions for the Hyderabad has been documented. These values could be used as benchmark values in the treatment of gall bladder diseases.

“…De forma similar ao observado no presente estudo, Yoo et al (2003) encontraram correlação positiva e significativa entre comprimento e largura da vesícula biliar com o peso de crianças submetidas ao exame ultrassonográfico. Como a secreção da bile é contínua (Sohn & Couto 2012) e hormônios como gastrina e secretina não parecem afetar a produção da bile no coelho, como ocorre em cães e gatos (Shaw & Heath 1974), o peso corporal no coelho pode ser o fator com maior influência no tamanho da vesícula biliar.…”

RESUMO: O presente trabalho descreveu características e comparou mensurações do fígado, vesícula biliar, rins, vesícula urinária e jejuno de coelhos da raça Nova Zelândia Branco (NZB) jovens e adultos. O grupo dos jovens foi composto por 39 coelhos de ambos os sexos (20 machos e 19 fêmeas), desmamados aos 30-31 dias de idade, sendo as avaliações realizadas aos 35, 56 e 77 dias de idade. O grupo dos adultos foi composto por 23 fêmeas e 15 machos, com idade superior a 6 meses, sendo realizada uma avaliação ultrassonográfica por animal. O exame consistiu na avaliação do fígado, vesícula biliar, rins direito e esquerdo, jejuno e vesícula urinária. Todos os animais foram pesados antes dos exames. O peso médio dos animais aumentou (p<0,05) dos 35 dias até a idade adulta. Tanto nos adultos quanto nos jovens, o fígado apresentou-se predominantemente isoecogênico ao rim direito e com textura homogênea. A vesícula biliar apresentou-se em formato ovoide alongado, variando de piriforme à amendoado, com conteúdo anecogênico, não sendo visível em 2,6% dos coelhos jovens e em 26,3% dos adultos. O comprimento e a largura da vesícula biliar nas idades de 35, 56, 77 dias e adultos foram: 1,06 e 0,39; 1,44 e 0,53; 1,41 e 0,58; 1,57 e 0,67cm, respectivamente. Considerando jovens e adultos, as mensurações da vesícula biliar e dos rins esquerdo e direito apresentaram correlação positiva (p<0,05) com o peso. Os rins apresentaram-se no formato de elipse e com superfície regular, com aumento (p<0,05) dos 35 dias à idade adulta. Houve correlação positiva (p<0,05) entre os volumes renais direito e esquerdo. A descrição da vesícula urinária mais encontrada (86%) foi a com conteúdo anecogênico, com pequenas estruturas ecogênicas livres no lúmen, tanto em jovens quanto em adultos. Não houve diferença (p>0,05) da espessura das camadas do jejuno entre as idades, apresentando média de 0,23 cm para todos os animais. Estes são os primeiros dados brasileiros de características ultrassonográficas de fígado, vesícula biliar, rins, jejuno e vesícula urinária para coelhos NZB de 35, 56 e 77 dias de vida e adultos.

“…Surgical consultation was obtained and agreed with this preliminary diagnosis, pending further imaging data to better define GB presence and location, and possible pancreatobiliary junction abnormalities. Magnetic resonance imaging (3 T, Magnetom Trio, Siemens Erlangen, Germany) showed the suspected "choledochal cyst" to actually be a voluminous saccular GB, 5 to 10 times larger than normal (105 × 40 mm; V = 101.7 cm 3 ) (normal value for age 56 ± 8 × 19 ± 4 mm, V = 11.5 ± 5.3 cm 3 ) [7]. The dilated infundibular region of the GB reached the porta hepatis indenting the junction, displacing it behind the bile duct.…”
