Abstract
Color Doppler twinkling artifact has been described in stones of urinary and biliary tract, parenchymal calcifications, medical materials such as encrusted ureteral stent, intracerebral coil. To the best of our knowledge this artifact has not been published in sludge of gallbladder before. This artifact is concerned to the strongly reflective structure and sonography machine settings. Twinkling artifact mimics a real blood flow in color mode Doppler examination and it may lead to wrong diagnosis. We present a case of twinkling artifact related to the sludge of gallbladder that might represent a trap in color Doppler imaging in the differential diagnosis of gallbladder tumor.
