Inmedicine, aPhrygian cap is the folded portion of somegallbladders that resembles thePhrygian cap (a soft conical cap with the top pulled forward, associated in antiquity with the inhabitants ofPhrygia, a region of centralAnatolia). It is a normalanatomical variant seen in 1-6% of patients.[1] It is caused by a fold in the gallbladder where thegallbladder fundus joins the gallbladder body.[2] Apart from the chance of being mistaken for stones on asonogram, it has no other medical implications nor does it predispose one to other diseases.[1]
