| Popis: | Highlights What is already known on this topic? • Duplex gallbladder is a rare congenital abnormality. What this study adds? • The importance of thorough investigation to avoid missed diagnosis. • Surgery is only indicated for symptomatic duplex gallbladders. Gallbladder duplication is a rare congenital abnormality first described by Boyden in 1926. Pre-operative diagnosis is essential in identifying anatomical abnormalities in order to avoid biliary injuries at the time of surgery or performance of an incomplete operation. We present a case of a duplex gallbladder and review of the literature. |
