Congenital gallbladder duplication: preoperative diagnosis by ultrasonography.
Congenital gallbladder duplication, an uncommon but potentially complicating malformation, is rarely diagnosed preoperatively. A case in which the diagnosis was achieved by real-time ultrasonography is presented and correlated with hepatobiliary scintigraphy. The efficacy of these diagnostic modalities is discussed, and the available literature is reviewed.
