Abstract:
This study is practical and descriptive study which continued for one year and was carried out in Khamis mushit civil hospital and Assir hospital. It discusses the protocol of ultrasound scanning in demonstrating of complication of Gall-bladder pathologies and their incidence.
Known cases of G.B pathologies (100 patient) were surveyed by ultransound using Aloka scanner with 3-5 MHz probe and Toshiba 3.5-5MHz probe .
All patients were evaluated with altrasonogphy following the international scanning guidelines and protocols.
The age or the patients is between (20—80) years 65
Patients (65%) were females and 35 patients (35%) were males . range of age group of accumulation for gallstone presence was (35 -50) years in females and above 50 years in male .
Incidence of gallstone in KSA 20% ration of incidence between male to female 1:2 .other pathologies of gallbladder were found to be acute cholecystities 30% , chronic cholocystities 20%, sludge 5%, carcinoma of the Gall-bladder 1% and Gall-bladdr polyps 1%.
Ultransonography as a single imaging modality is sufficient evaluation of patient with suspected gallbladder pathologies (gallstone) which can provide information about the presence of gallstone and more over about site and cause of biliary tract obstruction.
