Double gallbladder is a rare congenital anomaly, which can present a challenge for the surgeon who performs laparoscopic cholecystectomies. The common first-line modality for screening in symptomatic gallbladder pathology is still ultrasonography, even though the accuracy is low. Preoperative diagnosis of this anomaly is not common as it is available in only 50 % of cases. Preoperative diagnosis and being acquainted with this anomaly decrease the possibility of injury to the biliary tract, the number of postoperative complications and the possible need for further surgical procedures.We present a case of double gallbladder which was diagnosed during the operative procedure. Based on ultrasonography screening, which showed a gall-stone in an unchanged gallbladder, a laparoscopic gallbladder removal was indicated. Despite the finding of a double gallbladder, the performance of laparoscopic gallblade removal was uneventful.

Septate gallbladder is a rare congenital anomaly, which can present a challenge for the surgeon who performs laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The common first line modality for screening in symptomatic gallbladder pathology is still ultrasonography. Preoperative diagnosis of this anomaly is not common. Pre- operative diagnosis and being acquainted with this anomaly decreases the possibility of injury to the biliary tract, the number of postoperative complications and the possible need for further surgical procedures. We present a case of septate gallbladder, which was diagnosed during the operative procedure. Despite the finding of a septate gallbladder, the performance of laparoscopic cholecystectomy was uneventful.

Double gall bladder is a rare congenital anomaly of the Hepatobiliary system with an incidence of 1:4000 due to abnormalities resulting during the embryogenesis during fourth to sixth week of gestation. Boyden was first to describe the duplication of the gallbladder and Harlaftis classification describes three types for the duplication of the gallbladder. Preoperative diagnosis of the duplication of the gallbladder has to be confirmed to minimise the complications during the surgery and post operatively. Sometimes the duplication of the gallbladder is missed preoperatively and hence increasing the risk and complications during the cholecystectomy. MRCP is the investigation of choice for preoperative diagnosis of the duplication and the laparoscopic cholecystectomy being the treatment of choice for the double gallbladder. We encountered a 25 year old girl with duplicate gallbladder who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy with removal of both gallbladders successfully.

Duplication of the gallbladder is a rare congenital anomaly, which Boyden first illustrated in 1926. No additional risk of cholelithiasis or malignancy with this congenital anomaly was documented. However, this congenital anomaly is associated with more risk for complications during and after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. So, preoperative diagnosis is essential in identifying anatomical abnormalities to avoid biliary injuries at the time of surgery or the performance of an incomplete operation. The removal of an asymptomatic double gallbladder remains controversial. Here, we are reporting a case of the incidentally detected duplex gallbladder in a teenager and review the literature that will enrich the reader’s knowledge regarding this rare congenital anomaly.

Urethral duplication is a rare congenital anomaly affecting mainly males. Here, we report a case of urethral duplication in a 19 years old male presented as a scrotal sinus discharging pus for 1 year. Surgical removal of accessory urethra was done and postoperative period was uneventful.

AbstractSirenomelia, or the Mermaid Syndrome, is a very rare congenital anomaly. It is associated with varying degrees of fusion of lower limb bones, giving them the appearance of a “mermaid.” It is almost always associated with other birth defects, such as, renal abnormalities, genital anomalies, and cardiac anomalies. We report a case of sirenomelia associated with bilateral multicystic dysplastic kidneys along with bilateral hydronephrosis, severe oligohydramnios, single umbilical artery, absent anal opening, and absent genitals. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case to be reported from our region.

Though Klippel-Feil syndrome is a rare congenital anomaly and the clinical presentations are varied, a complete history, physical and radiological examinations may reveal the diagnosis.

Sirenomelia or mermaid syndrome is a rare congenital anomaly characterized by variable degree of fusion of lower extremities. Awareness to this rare condition is important for prenatal diagnosis and prognosticating the fetus. The exact etiopathogenesis is still an area of research. Two pathogenic hypotheses are the vascular steal hypothesis and the defective blastogenesis hypothesis with exceptions reported in literature.
