title: [Common bile duct calculi and agenesis of the gallbladder. Physiopathological considerations. Apropos of 2 cases].
abstract: Could the association of common duct stones and agenesis of the gallbladder be a coincidence or are they related to a cause and effect phenomenon? After having dealt with different physiopathological hypothesis, the authors think that common duct stones result from that congenital absence of the gallbladder. A method to ascertain their hypothesis is put forward.
