Duplicated Gallbladder

Abstract: Duplication of the gallbladder is a rare congenital anomaly of the biliary system with the incidence of 1 in 3800. A 38-year-old woman visited our patient clinic for evaluation of wall thickening of the gallbladder, detected by abdominal ultrasonography during a regular medical checkup. Drip infusion cholecystocholangiography-computed tomography revealed Y-shaped duplicated gallbladders.

Undiagnosed duplicated GB may lead to cholecystectomy, leaving another GB or injury to adjacent structures ( 2 ). Preoperative diagnosis of duplicated GB enables the surgeon to evaluate its type before selecting the most appropriate surgical technique ( 3 ).…”
