Abstract

We discuss two patients of complex duplication of gall bladders with variants which have not been described earlier so far. The duplication of gall bladder is an uncommon type of anomaly with incidence of 1 in 4000 patients. Two classification systems by Harlafti and Gross are used to describe the type of anomalies. In this paper we describe two types of duplications of gall bladder one having left double sided gall bladder and the second with asymmetric small size gall bladder with absent cystic duct both of which pose not only diagnostic but surgical implications. The knowledge of both these types is important to both the diagnostician as well as the surgeon in order to prevent complications and obtain accurate results.
