Congenital absence of gall bladder is a very rare entity found in clinical practices. Due to miss interpretation of  sonographic findings as they are not familiar with the condition it possess a great difficulty in management the  patient. Though the patient present with the feature of acute  cholecystitis, conservative treatment is enough to cure the disease. Modern radiological intervention make the diagnosis confirm, thus preventing unnecessary surgical procedure. Here we report two cases of Congenital absence of gall bladder presenting as acute cholecystitis ultimately  diagnosed and treated.

Congenital absence of the gall-bladder is a rare condition. It is sometimes associated with other congenital defects. We report here two cases of gall-bladder agenesis discovered at laparoscopy. Both had a history of skeletal and cardiovascular anomalies. The investigation of patients with absent gall-bladder can be very difficult. Ultrasound scanning is usually inconclusive and further noninvasive tests should be performed to establish the diagnosis and prevent an unnecessary operation. The presence of other congenital defects should alert the clinician to the possibility of gall-bladder agenesis.
