A Unique Spontaneous Subcapsular Bilioma: Is it an idiopathic variety?

Spontaneous Subcapsular bilioma is an extrabiliary intrahepatic collection of bile in subcapsular location commonly occurring after biliary trauma or surgery. It rarely occurs in absence of any underlying biliary abnormality. We report a such a case with no known underlying biliary tract abnormality except for a solitary gall stone. We bring into discussion whether this type of bilioma can be labeled as idiopathic spontaneous variety in presence of gall stone.Keywords: bile; idiopathic; subcapsular bilioma.

Gallbladder Agenesis and Cystic Duct Absence in an Adult Patient Diagnosed by Magnetic Resonance Cholangiography: Report of a Case and Review of the Literature

Gallbladder agenesis (GA) is a rare congenital anomaly of the biliary system often associated with other congenital abnormalities. Patients become symptomatic in 23% of cases. GA is often misinterpreted as other diseases, therefore, leading to unnecessary surgery. We report a case of congenital GA associated to cystic duct absence and a biliary tract abnormality diagnosed by Magnetic Resonance with Cholangiopancreatography.
