Ectopic Gallbladder on POCUS

Patients with ectopic GBs may remain asymptomatic or can develop cholecystitis, torsion, gangrene,  or herniation depending on location. Sites include: intrahepatic, left-sided, floating, supra hepatic, retrohepatic, transverse.
While rare (0.1-0.7%), always consider ectopic GB when GB not found in traditional location. Need to consider additional diagnoses in these patients-torsion, gangrene, herniation. CT helpful in diagnosing these complications.
