Dumbbell Gallbladder Diagnosed by ERCP

چکیده
A 76-year-old woman presented with a 3-year history of intermittent and worsening right upper quadrant abdominal pain. The abdominal pain was not associated with nausea or vomiting, and did not get worse with food intake. Laboratory results were normal. Abdominal computed tomography (CT) showed a 2.3 x 1.9-cm fluid-filled lesion of the biliary system consistent with a type II choledochal cyst, accessory gallbladder, or gallbladder diverticulum (Figure 1). A magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) was consistent with a type II choledochal cyst (Figure 2). Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) with cholangiogram confirmed gallbladder stricture (Figure 3). Subsequently, laparoscopic cholecystectomy and pathology also confirmed a gallbladder stricture (Figure 4). Postoperatively, the patient's symptoms resolved.

Gallbladder perforation after closed thoracoabdominal trauma, diagnosed and treated by ERCP.
Single gallbladder injury after abdominal trauma is a rare finding. Early diagnosis of this disease is often difficult due to the variability of symptoms and unspecific results in the usual radiological tests. The usual management in patients with vesical trauma is surgery. We report a case of a patient with a gallbladder perforation after closed thoracoabdominal trauma diagnosed and treated wi...
متن کاملEctopic Opening of the Common Bile Duct into the Duodenal Bulb Accompanied with Cholangitis and Gallbladder Cancer: A Report of Two Cases
An ectopic opening of the common bile duct (CBD) into the duodenal bulb is a very rare congenital anomaly of the biliary system, which may cause recurrent duodenal ulcer or biliary diseases such as choledocholithiasis and cholangitis. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) plays a major role in the diagnosis of this anomaly. We report two such cases: one in a 61-year-old man and ...

Double gallbladder is a rare congenital biliary anomaly, but an accessory gallbladder arising from the left hepatic duct is a more remarkably rare congenital anomaly. We report a case of double gallbladder with adenocarcinoma and gallstones, which was preoperatively diagnosed by endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and then confirmed by open laparotomy. A review of the literatu...
