Defining ductal anatomy using CT cholangiography in a patient with gallbladder duplication

Duplication of the gallbladder is a rare congenital abnormality. Pre-operative diagnosis is challenging and, with the almost universal use of laparoscopic cholecystectomy, the scope for missing the second intrahepatic gallbladder is increased. Here we report the use of CT cholangiography to define d...

Zusammenfassung:	Duplication of the gallbladder is a rare congenital abnormality. Pre-operative diagnosis is challenging and, with the almost universal use of laparoscopic cholecystectomy, the scope for missing the second intrahepatic gallbladder is increased. Here we report the use of CT cholangiography to define ductal anatomy successfully in a patient with gallbladder duplication.
