Gallbladder Agenesis and Cystic Duct Absence in an Adult Patient Diagnosed by Magnetic Resonance Cholangiography : Report of a Case and Review of the Literature

Abstract EN

Gallbladder agenesis (GA) is a rare congenital anomaly of the biliary system often associated with other congenital abnormalities.

Patients become symptomatic in 23% of cases.

GA is often misinterpreted as other diseases, therefore, leading to unnecessary surgery.

We report a case of congenital GA associated to cystic duct absence and a biliary tract abnormality diagnosed by Magnetic Resonance with Cholangiopancreatography.
