Overview[edit | edit source]
Phrygian cap is the transverse congenital septum in the fundus of the gallbladder. The original term referred to simple folding of the fundus, suggesting a septum radiographically. A causal relationship to the segmental form ofadenomyomatosis has been suggested but remains doubtful
Historical Perspective[edit | edit source]
- Phrygia was an ancient country of Asia Minor, in what is now Turkey.
- The Phrygian cap was adopted by freed slaves in Roman times, and thus this cap became a symbol of liberty.
- This headgear made its last appearance in the 18th century during the French Revolution.
- It can be found atop a sword on the US Seal Of The Department Of The Army.
- Phygian caps are worn by smurfs.
Diagnosis[edit | edit source]
On imaging, a transverse septum extends across the fundus of the gallbladder is seen.
