Biliary - Biliary Colic
Caption
A 33-year-old female presented to the ED reporting acute onset abdominal pain immediately after eating a meal. She was well-appearing and afebrile; physical exam notable for reproducible tenderness to palpation of her upper abdomen. POCUS long axis view obtained to right of epigastrium notable for hyperechoic material within the lumen of the gallbladder (anechoic) producing posterior shadowing. This confirmed our clinical suspicion of biliary colic, and the patient was able to be discharged with scheduled outpatient elective surgery. Victor Bang, Medical Student Brazil @vmjbang
