Beware of the shrunken gallbladder – Case report of intraoperatively diagnosed gallbladder agenesis.
Abstract
Gallbladder Agenesis, the congenital absence of the gallbladder, is a very rare biliary anomaly found in 13 to 65 people per 100,000. Symptomatic patients usually present with abdominal pain, nausea, and emesis, and are often misdiagnosed with gallbladder pathologies leading to unnecessary operations.
