case_images: Ultrasound scans of a pediatric patient with CAGB. An ultrasonographic image (A) and after magnification (B) of the gallbladder showed a deficiency in the gallbladder. The common bile duct (CBD) and portal vein (PV) are indicated by arrows for reference. No gallbladder or gallbladder remnant was visible in the expected location.

case_images: Additionally, ultrasonography demonstrated an absent gallbladder (Figure 1A). At higher magnification (Figure 1B), the gallbladder absence was more apparent.
case_images: (A-E) Five different cross-sectional MRI scans of the abdomen. These findings usually illustrate various segments of the liver and surrounding anatomical structures, which indicate mild hepatic steatosis.

case_images: MRI of the abdomen revealed a fatty liver with an absence of the gallbladder (Figure 2). The liver and its vascular structures were distinctly visible (Figure 2A). A similar section with more pronounced vascular features was subsequently observed (Figure 2B). Moreover, the MRI revealed an area of altered tissue density, associated with fatty liver disease (Figure 2C), and provided additional views of the liver and surrounding tissues, further corroborating the diagnosis of fatty liver (Figures 2D,E).
