Abstract

Gallbladder agenesis is a rare congenital abnormality of the biliary tract. The diagnosis is usually made during surgery. It has been proven to be very difficult to make a correct preoperative diagnosis of agenesis of the gallbladder in symptomatic patients. The purpose of this presentation is to share our experience about a case of middle-aged lady who presented with symptoms of biliary colic. Ultrasound examination revealed cholelethiasis with contracted gall bladder. On Contrast CT examination Gall bladder could not be visualized. On further imaging as MRCP diagnosis of gallbladder agenesis could be confirmed. This helped in avoiding unnecessary surgery and patient was conservatively treated.
