Abstract

We describe the findings of symptomatic cholelithiasis in the double gallbladder of a 75-year-old woman, which was successfully removed laparoscopically. This report highlights the importance of this condition and the effectiveness of magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography in defining abnormal gallbladder anatomy.
