초록

4살령의 중성화된 암컷 미니어쳐 핀셔가 3년 5개월 동안의 지속적인 간효소 수치 상승으로 본원으로 내원하였다. 간효소 수치의 지속적인 상승은 반복적인 혈액검사를 통해 확인하였으며, 간효소 수치 상승 원인에 대한 정확한 진단을 위하여 추가적인 검사가 진행 되었다. 복부초음파검사에서 복강내의 어느 단면에서도 담낭을 확인할 수 없었다. 복부초음파검사에서 담낭의 무형성을 의심하였으며 컴퓨터단층촬영을 통해 담낭 무형성을 확인하였다. 이 증례는 미니어쳐 핀셔에서 컴퓨터단층촬영을 이용하여 담낭 무형성을 진단한 첫번째 증례보고이다.

A 4-year-old spayed female Miniature Pinscher was presented with a 3.5-year history of elevated liver enzymes level. Continuous elevation of liver enzymes was found on repeated blood examinations and the dog was referred for further evaluation. The abdominal ultrasonography revealed that the gallbladder could not be visualized in any plane. The absence of gallbladder was suspected on ultrasonography. Computed tomography (CT) confirmed gallbladder agenesis (GBA). This is the first reported case of diagnosis of GBA in Miniature Pinscher by using CT.
