Phrygian cap (anatomy)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Normal anatomical variant of the gallbladder
The Phrygian cap results from folding of thegallbladder fundus.

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]
