Gallbladder agenesis and cystic duct absence in an adult patient diagnosed by magnetic resonance cholangiography: report of a case and review of the literature.
TLDR
A case of congenital GA associated to cystic duct absence and a biliary tract abnormality diagnosed by Magnetic Resonance with Cholangiopancreatography is reported.Abstract:
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.read more

TL;DR: If several steps in laparoscopic exposure of the gallbladder, cystic duct, and Calot's triangle do not provide the surgeon with comfortable anatomic orientation, the procedure should be converted to open cholecystectomy.

Surgical and pathologic correlation of cholecystosonography and cholecystography
TL;DR: To define the accuracy of varying ultrasonic patterns in the diagnosis of gallstones, the records of 145 patients with ultrasound examination of the gallbladder prior to cholecystectomy were reviewed and three abnormal scan categories were established.
