Abstract:
Gallbladder dysplasia is not common but can be associated with chromosome abnormality and/or some severe complications such as biliary atresia and cystic fibrosis. Therefore, prenatal detection of this problem is of great significance for timely management after birth. However, abnormal gallbladder development is often overlooked in routine mid-term fetal ultrasound scanning. Here, we reviewed the research progress on fetal gallbladder dysplasia, including clinical characteristics and perinatal prognosis of gallbladder duplication, echo substances in gallbladder and gallbladder cholelithiasis, ectopic gallbladder, gallbladder enlargement, and cystic fibrosis, and summarized the types, incidence, clinical features, prenatal diagnosis and perinatal prognosis of non-visualized fetal gallbladder, in order to emphasize the prenatal screening of fetal gallbladder dysplasia.
