Y1 - 2023 N1 - T2 - Current Medical Diagnosis & Treatment 2023 AB - In a small group of patients (mostly women) with biliary pain, conventional radiographic studies of the upper GI tract and gallbladder—including cholangiography—are unremarkable. Emptying of the gallbladder may be markedly reduced on gallbladder scintigraphy following injection of cholecystokinin; cholecystectomy may be curative in such cases. Histologic examination of the resected gallbladder may show chronic cholecystitis or microlithiasis. An additional diagnostic consideration is sphincter of Oddi dysfunction.
