Agenesis of the gallbladder is a rare congenital anomaly occurring
in 1 to 4 people of a population of 10000. It may present with biliary
type symptoms such as upper abdominal pain requiring further
investigation. Ultrasound is the first choice of imaging for biliary
symptoms but is frequently misleading in the context of Gallbladder
Agenesis. We report a case of congenital Gallbladder Agenesis and a
biliary tract abnormality diagnosed by laparoscopy. As a result most
patients are diagnosed following conversion of laparoscopic to open
cholecystectomy and subsequent failure to identify the gallbladder.
Failure to suspect Gallbladder Agenesis at laparoscopy can result in
unnecessary open surgery and a high risk of bile duct damage with
corresponding postoperative morbidity and mortality.
