Abstract:
The significantly high prevalences of cholelithiasis in patients with spinal cord injury (SCI) are related to impaired sympathetic innervations to the gallbladder. Sonography before and after the ingestion of a standard fatty meal is usually applied in evaluation of gallbladder function. This paper reviewed the innervations of gallbladder, sonography application in evaluation of gallbladder function and the relationship between SCI and cholelithiasis.
