A rare gallbladder duplication anomaly caused problems in a patient previously treated for gallstones. Imaging revealed the anomaly, leading to surgical removal to relieve jaundice.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Case Reports
  • Congenital Anomalies

Background:

  • Gallbladder duplication is a rare congenital anomaly with potential clinical, surgical, and diagnostic challenges.
  • Accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective patient management.

Observation:

  • A 63-year-old male presented with obstructive jaundice approximately one year after a laparoscopic cholecystectomy for gallstones.
  • Previous cholecystectomy was histologically confirmed.

Findings:

  • Abdominal computed tomography and magnetic resonance cholangiogram revealed a duplicated gallbladder.
  • The anomaly was diagnosed serendipitously during investigation for recurrent jaundice.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of considering rare congenital anomalies in patients with recurrent or unusual presentations post-surgery.
