Symptomatic H- type gallbladder in a male patient: A rare case report from Syria

ABSTRACT:

Introduction and importance

Double gallbladders are a rare anomaly occur in biliary system during the fetal life. In most cases they are asymptomatic, but in few patients, they can progress as a sever disease. Preoperative diagnose is essential in order to prevent surgery complexities and prevent the undesired complications.

Case presentation

We described a typical case of symptomatic duplicate gallbladder in a 42-year-old man who suffered from chronic abdominal symptoms without determining the cause. The accessory gallbladder was discovered by imagining screening tools which included ultrasound and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography and was treated successfully with laparoscopic cholecystectomy, where both gallbladders were removed without any complications.
