Abstract

Triplication of gallbladder is a very rare congenital anamoly of biliary tract and is unlikely to be revealed unless there are associated symptoms. The modern imaging techniques usually fail to define the exact anatomy. Pre-operative awareness of this anatomic variation can minimize the chances of any damage to the biliary tract. This case report describes a patient with cholelithiasis diagnosed to have double gallbladder on pre-operative ultrasound.
