Laparoscopic double cholecystectomy for biliary dyskinesia in a child with duplicated gallbladders

Abstract Gallbladder duplication is an uncommon congenital anomaly with an estimated incidence of 1 in 4000 patients. Here we present a child who underwent a duodenal duplication cyst marsupialization who continued experiencing chronic abdominal pain one year after the initial procedure. She had an incidentally discovered duplicated gallbladder on ultrasound and an ejection fraction of 2% on hepatobiliary iminodiacetic acid (HIDA) scanning. Preoperative magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) revealed two gallbladders with individual cystic ducts. She underwent an uneventful laparoscopic double cholecystectomy for biliary dyskinesia and subsequently had resolution of her chronic abdominal pain.

Laparoscopic evaluation and resection of type-II choledochal cyst arising from right hepatic duct mimicking gall bladder duplication.

A Type II choledochal cyst arising from the right hepatic duct may mimic a gall bladder duplication. Both are rare and may not get differentiated before operative exploration. While a magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) may be helpful, laparoscopy may be the final tool for evaluation and effective surgical treatment. We report such a case of a 22-year-old male whose MRCP was suggestive of a cystic lesion in the gall bladder fossa and was taken up for surgery with a pre-operative diagnosis of gall bladder duplication with a single cystic duct. He underwent elective laparoscopic evaluation, mobilisation, discerning of anatomy and diagnosis, excision of cyst and concomitant cholecystectomy. This case highlights that these two rare entities can mimic each other on imaging; however, a laparoscopic approach serves the dual purpose of diagnosing and treating this unique pathoanatomical entity.

A duplicated Gallbladder in a Patient Presenting with Acute Cholangitis. A Case Study and a Literature Review

Gallbladder duplication can present a clinical challenge primarily due to difficulties with diagnosis and identification. Recognition of this anomaly and its various types is important since it can complicate a gallbladder disease or a simple hepatobiliary surgical procedure. The case report of a 63-year-old woman who presented with cholangitis and underwent a successful laparoscopic management of symptomatic gallbladder duplication is described, emphasizing several important considerations. Using ERCP, MRCP and 3D reconstructions the two cystic ducts with one common bile duct were identified. A review of the literature in referral of this variant, its anatomical classifications and significance to clinical and surgical practice is included. In conclusion, gallbladder anomalies should be anticipated in the presence of a cystic lesion reported around the gallbladder when evaluating radiologic studies. In case of surgery, preoperative diagnosis is essential to prevent possible biliary injuries or reoperation if accessory gallbladder has been overlooked during initial surgery. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy remains feasible for intervention can be safely done and awareness is necessary to avoid complications or multiple procedures.

Duplication of the Gallbladder: A Rare Congenital Anomaly

Biliary tract shows a large number of anatomic variations and duplication of the gallbladder (GB) is a rare congenital anomaly. Although it is very often detected incidentally, it may present with complications due to gall stone disease. Careful identification of this anomaly on imaging is important to prevent any serious surgical complications. We here report a case of duplicated GB in a 26-year-old male, who presented with right hypochondriac pain and detected to have two GB on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Prenatal and accurate perinatal diagnosis of type 2 H or ductular duplicate gallbladder

BackgroundDouble gallbladder is a rare biliary anomaly. Perinatal diagnosis of the disorder has been reported in only 6 cases, and in 5 of them the diagnosis was based on ultrasound imaging only. However, the ultrasound technique alone does not provide a sufficiently precise description of cystic ducts and biliary anatomy, an information that is crucial for a correct classification and for a possible future surgery.Case presentationAt 21 weeks of gestational age of an uneventful pregnancy in a 38 year old primipara mother, a routine ultrasound screening detected a biliary anomaly in the fetus suggestive of a double gallbladder. A neonatal abdominal ultrasonography performed on postnatal day 2 confirmed the diagnosis. On day 12 the newborn underwent a Magnetic Resonance Cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) that clearly characterized the anatomy of the anomaly: both gallbladders had their own cystic duct and both had a separate insertion in the main biliary duct.ConclusionsWe report a case of early prenatal suspected duplicate gallbladder that was confirmed by a neonatal precise diagnosis of a Type 2, H or ductular duplicate gallbladder, using for the first time 3D images of Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography in a newborn. An accurate anatomical diagnosis is mandatory in patients undergoing a possible future cholecystectomy, to avoid surgical complications or reoperations. Therefore, in case of a perinatal suspicion of a double gallbladder, neonates should undergo a Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography.A review of the Literature about this variant is included.

Prenatal ultrasound diagnosis of gallbladder duplication: report of 6 cases

A retrospective analysis of 6 cases of prenatal diagnosed of gallbladder duplication is presented. The average gestational age at prenatal diagnosis was 25,6 weeks (range 19–36 weeks) of gestation. In all cases two fluidcontaining cystic structures in the right upper quadrant of a fetus were found during ultrasound examination. These structures were saccular in morphology and located adjacent to the fetal liver.

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy in duplicated gallbladder with symptomatic cholelithiasis – Surgical approach to a rare anatomical variation

Gallbladder could have various abnormalities; however duplication of gallbladder is a rare variation. Different classification types of the gallbladder duplication have been identified. We reported the duplicated gallbladder in a 20-year-old male who was admitted with right upper quadrant pain. Abdominal ultrasonography revealed that the patient had two separated gallbladders and also had two cystic ducts with calculi and polyp; as a next process, laparoscopic cholecystectomy was applied successfully for the treatment. This anomaly is important in term of surgical approach.

Gallbladder Duplication Associated with Gastro-Intestinal Atresia

Gallbladder duplication in association with other GIT anomalies is a rare entity. We report two neonates; one with duodenal atresia and the other newborn with pyloric atresia, ileal atresia and colonic atresia, both were associated with gallbladder duplication which has not been reported earlier.

Duplication de la vésicule biliaire avec hétérotopie : cas clinique et proposition de classification des duplications gastro-intestinales

Gastrointestinal duplications are rare congenital malformations that can occur anywhere between the mouth and the anus, including the digestive annexes. Numerous classifications of these malformations exist, varying from one author to another. This study describes a rare case of gallbladder duplication and suggests a unified classification of gastrointestinal duplications in order to merge epidemiological and clinical considerations. A 13-year-old boy presented with acute abdominal pain. Investigations revealed a cystic structure located in the gallbladder combined with lithiasis. Following an elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy, the diagnosis of gallbladder duplication in association with heterotopic gastrointestinal mucosa and pancreatic micro-clusters was made. The patient is in excellent health 4 years after surgery. This atypical duplication is rare and can most likely be explained by the proximity between the pancreas and gastrointestinal tract during their development: the intestinal metaplasia and the development of the gastric mucosa may further represent congenital lesions due to aberrant migration of normal tissue, or could be secondary to a chronic inflammatory response in the gallbladder. The revised standardized classification we propose is based on the accurate identification, precise location and detailed histology of the lesions.

Duplication of Gall bladder: Review of Literature and Report of a Case

The gallbladder duplication consider a rare anatomic malformation, it can now be detected by preoperative multiple imaging study. The preoperative diagnosis is very important to avoid potential damage to the duct system during surgery. We preferred Ultrasound which is modality of imaging. Surgical treatment consists of the removal of both gallbladders to prevent later complications. We report one case of congenital double gall-bladder as it is very rare which were demonstrated radio logically and proved at surgery.
