Diffusely thickened gall bladdergallbladder wall with mild pericholecystic free fluid. Crumpled submucosalSubmucosal hyperenhancement. Multiple approximately 3mm3 mm sized radiodensecalcified calculi seen. A larger rounded calculus with peripheral egg shell calcification is seen in the neck of gall bladder. A thickened fold is seen in the fundal region. There is secondary altered perfusion in segment IV of liver with areas of suspicious subsegmental filling defects in portal venous branches - possibly chronic portal venous thrombosis.
