Abstract :

Presence of double gall bladder is a rare occurrence in the population (1: 4000). This congenital anomaly may have various presentations and may pose difficulty during surgery. We report a case of double gall bladder, presenting with symptomatic cholelithiasis in the smaller moiety. After preoperative diagnosis with ultrasound of abdomen and by magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography laparoscopic cholecystectomy performed and follow up remained uneventful. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the treatment of choice for symptomatic double gall bladder. Preoperative delineation of anatomy in such cases may prevent difficulty and associated biliary injury.
