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.
