• The following motility disorders cause biliary colic without the presence of gallstones:^[1]
  • Functional gallbladder disorder (FGD)
  • Biliary sphincter of Oddi disorder (SOD)
• Biliary dyskinesia happens when:^[1]
  • Due to gallbladder dyskinesia/hypokinesia, which leads to abnormal gallbladder contraction, bile is not secreted properly.
  • There is no coordination between gallbladder contraction and sphincter of Oddi relaxation.
  • Due to an obstruction (structural or functional), bile is not able to flow through the common bile duct (CBD).
