What Does The Gallbladder Being Distended Mean?
this is for my father who is 62 yrs old. Recently he went for a scan and the report showed as :
Mild hepatomegaly with distended Gall Bladder containing multiple calculi along with echogenic bile. The cystic duct is dilated and filled with calculi. There is a small diverticula noted which is also filled with calculi. The common bile duct could not be traced. (probably not dilated).

Hi,
It means that there is possible obstruction of cystic duct and you should do ct scan to verify is this stone or there is other type of blockage which include tumors as well so it should be ruled out. If this is stone then cholecystectomy is recommended.I hope I have answered you query.
If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time. Wish you a good health.
Kindly regards,
Dr. Ivan R. Rommstein
