“…Oral cholecystography and scintigraphy demonstrate impaired emptying of the fundal compartment in segmental adenomyomatosis. [20][21][22] It is very likely that the impaired emptying of the fundal compartment results in biliary stasis in the compartment, which is a prerequisite for the formation of all types of gallstones. [23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31] Colquhoun 11 reported the predominance of gallstones in the fundal compartment in patients with segmental adenomyomatosis.…”

“…B Upright compression film reveals 2 stones. C After CRL the proximal compartment has completely emptied and several Rokitansky-Ashoff sinuses appear in the distal compartment bladder emptying was delayed with the demonstration of an increased roundedness of the gallbladder contour, as described in the so-called cystic duct syndrome [6].

“…It has previously been shown that the diagnosis of hyperplastic cholecystosis benefited from the administration of cholecystokinetic stimulus of whatever kind. Even authors who generally consider the fatty meal to be of little value [6,10] have found it useful for the diagnosis of hyperplastic cholecystosis.…”

Five hundred and two patients with good opacification of the gallbladder were studied by means of ceruletide-assisted cholecystography. A high percentage (15.7; 79 patients) was found to have hyperplastic cholecystoses. So far 26 of these patients have been operated upon because of gallstones or painful symptoms. The x-ray diagnosis was confirmed in all cases. Compared with routine cholecystography, the powerful contraction induced by ceruletide appears to lead to a more frequent recognition of hyperplastic cholecystoses.

“…Eating a fatty meal before imaging causes hyperconcentration of the contrast material and may increase the rate of detection of the sinuses 1,2 . Furthermore, compression radiography to partially evacuate the gall bladder has been reported to aid detection of RAS in cholecystography 21,22 . In the segmental form of GBA, a focal, circumferential narrowing of the gall bladder lumen, caused by an annular thickening or a septum in the gall bladder wall, divides the gall bladder lumen into separate interconnected compartments (Fig.…”

Imaging of adenomyomatosis of the gall bladder

Adenomyomatosis is a relatively common abnormality of the gall bladder, with a reported incidence of between 2.8 and 5%. Although mainly confined to the adult study group, a number of cases have been reported in the paediatric study group. It is characterized pathologically by excessive proliferation of the surface epithelium and hypertrophy of the muscularis propria of the gall bladder wall, with invagination of the mucosa into the thickened muscularis forming the so-called 'Rokitansky-Aschoff' sinuses. The condition is usually asymptomatic and is often diagnosed as an incidental finding on abdominal imaging. The radiological diagnosis is largely dependent on the visualization of the characteristic Rokitansky-Aschoff sinuses. As the condition is usually asymptomatic, the importance of making a correct diagnosis is to prevent misinterpretation of other gall bladder conditions such as gall bladder cancer, leading to incorrect treatment. In the past, oral cholecystography was the main imaging method used to make this diagnosis. In most institutions, oral cholecystography is no longer carried out, and the diagnosis is now more commonly seen on cross-sectional imaging. In this review article, we describe the manifestations of adenomyomatosis on the various imaging methods, with an emphasis on more modern techniques such as magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography. A brief section on oral cholecystography to aid readers familiar with this technique in understanding the comparable imaging features on more modern imaging techniques is included.
