Fig. 1.
Longitudinal ( A ) and axial ( B ) images of the gallbladder in a 3-month-old infant. There are multiple nondependent echogenic foci at the gallbladder wall with distal comet tail artifacts, in keeping with the typical Rokitansky-Aschoff sinuses (thin arrows). There is echogenic material in the dependent part of the gallbladder wall (thick arrow) that is not causing any acoustic shadowing, in keeping with bile sludge. There is a small accumulation of sludge in the wall protruding inside the gallbladder lumen, creating a polypoid projection (arrowhead)
