Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Hepatobiliary scintigraphy with sincalide stimulation is a commonly performed examination to evaluate gall bladder function. The importance of fasting and the possible interference by opioids are well-known considerations in the preparation of patients for this study. We present another medication, dicyclomine, that may interfere with the validity of the results. A 16-year-old girl with abdominal pain underwent hepatobiliary scintigraphy with sincalide stimulation that demonstrated a decreased gall bladder ejection fraction of 3%. Because of concern for the potential anticholinergic effect of dicyclomine therapy, this medication was discontinued, and a repeat examination revealed a normal ejection fraction of 97%. |
