What is a constricted gallbladder?

Radiology term: You're probably having right upper quadrant pain and have had an ultrasound with these words in it. Normally, when you eat, the gall bladder squeezes bile out to help digest your meal - that's the constriction. It's good news, because that is a normal finding. If that's all it says, you don't have sludge, wall thickening, stones, or other pathology which might necessitate a surgery. No answer tho.

Contracted?: Contracted gallbladders are small on imaging(ultrasound or ct). Can be normal if the gallbladder recently emptied. It can be seen usually in older patients who have diseased gallbladders that have just scarred down over time.. If the gallbladder does not empty with stimulation during a hida scan, the term biliary dyskinesia is used. Good luck.
