Gallbladder duplication: MR cholangiography demonstration

Abdom Imaging. 2001 May-Jun;26(3):287-9. doi: 10.1007/s002610000157.

Abstract

Gallbladder duplication is a rare anatomic malformation. We present a case of gallbladder duplication in a patient who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy in which breath-hold magnetic resonance cholangiography showed the biliary anomaly, allowing a correct preoperative differentiation of the specific type of duplication.
