Gallbladder agenesis, a rare congenital condition, can cause abdominal pain and lead to misdiagnosis. This case highlights the importance of accurate imaging to avoid unnecessary gallbladder surgery.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology and Hepatobiliary Medicine
  • Medical Imaging
  • Congenital Malformations

Background:

  • Gallbladder agenesis is a rare congenital anomaly.
  • It can present with non-specific abdominal symptoms, mimicking other conditions.
  • Misdiagnosis can lead to inappropriate surgical interventions.

Observation:

  • A 27-year-old woman presented with chronic, intermittent right upper quadrant abdominal pain.
  • Physical examination findings were unremarkable.
  • Initial abdominal ultrasound suggested gallbladder absence.

Findings:

  • Magnetic Resonance (MR) cholangiography confirmed the absence of the gallbladder (agenesis).
  • The patient's symptoms were attributed to this rare bile duct malformation.
