Obstruction7
- Canine gallbladder mucocele (GBM) is characterized by progressive accumulation of tenacious pale yellow to dark green mucin-laden bile, which may extend into the cystic, hepatic, and common bile ducts, resulting in variable degrees of bile duct obstruction. (msdvetmanual.com)
- In some patients, particularly those with obstruction or mucocele formation, surgery is necessary to address inflammation or blockage of the gall bladder and bile duct. (vetspecialty.com)
- Gallbladder mucocele causes obstruction of the gallbladder's storage capacity due to the formation of a thick, mucoid bile mass inside the gallbladder, impairing its ability to function. (wheres-the-beach-fitness.com)

- Cholecystitis is the inflammation of the gallbladder (GB) usually caused by the obstruction of the cystic duct (acute cholecystitis). (lecturio.com)
- Cholecystitis is inflammation of the gallbladder that occurs most commonly because of the presence of stones in the gallbladder or an obstruction of the cystic duct by gallstones arising from the gallbladder (cholelithiasis). (medscape.com)
Cholelithiasis2
- Cholelithiasis refers to the presence of abnormal concretions ( gallstones ) in the gallbladder . (amboss.com)
- Gallbladder stones (Cholelithiasis) are formed from cholesterol, bilirubin, and other components in very saturated bile. (drjudymorgan.com)
Inflammation9
- A mucocele is different than simple inflammation of the gall bladder, but the two can be associated (a mucocele can become inflamed, but inflammation of the gall bladder cannot cause a mucocele). (vetspecialty.com)
- The accumulated bile may extend the gallbladder, resulting in necrotizing cholecystitis - tissue death due to inflammation of the gallbladder. (wheres-the-beach-fitness.com)
- I am hesitant to call this a mucocele due to the above info (gravity dependent, no wall thickening, no inflammation) yet I am not fully comfortable with the appearance of the intraluminal debris. (sonopath.com)

Cystic3
- cystic duct Cystic duct The duct that is connected to the gallbladder and allows the emptying of bile into the common bile duct. (lecturio.com)
- these fuse to form the common bile duct to be joined by the cystic duct, which communicates with the gallbladder where the bile is stored and concentrated. (clinicalgate.com)
- Leakage from the cystic duct stump is most common, but it may (1) emanate from accessory ducts along the gallbladder fossa, (2) be the result from an injury to a major extrahepatic duct, or (3) follow T-tube removal after open cholecystectomy and common bile duct exploration. (medscape.com)
Sludge5
