Choledocholithiasis Without a Gallbladder: A Case of Agenesis in an Elderly Woman: A Case Report and Review of Literature
Abstract: Gallbladder agenesis is a rare congenital condition marked by the absence of the gallbladder and cystic duct due to embryonic developmental failure. It is often diagnosed incidentally. We present a case of a 69-year-old woman with cholangitis from choledocholithiasis, where imaging revealed gallbladder agenesis, confirmed during laparoscopic common bile duct exploration.
Keywords: gallbladder agenesis, biliary symptoms, diagnostic challenge, common bile duct stones, intraoperative diagnosis
