Percutaneous cholecystostomy (PC) is a common minimally invasive, image-guided procedure performed primarily on high-risk patients with acute cholecystitis for gallbladder decompression. Herein, we present a case of a patient undergoing PC placement using a transperitoneal approach. On subsequent upsizing attempts, the gallbladder fundus was found to invaginate during advancement of replacement drains, causing gallbladder intussusception. The use of a balloon and locked pigtail catheter were required to reposition the gallbladder to proper position. The patient's planned percutaneous cholecystoscopy was delayed by 4 weeks until intended upsizing could be performed. This case demonstrates the advantage of achieving transhepatic gallbladder access to support tract formation and limit procedural complications.

We report a case of Bean syndrome in a 3-year-old child of nonconsanguineous parents, in whom the diagnosis of miliary hemangiomatosis was initially made in view of a huge mass on the left thigh, taking the knee, and then the progressive appearance of a skin disorder with bluish swellings of variable sizes spread over the whole body. The patient was put on beta-blockers but without improvement.
