Sažetak
Gallbladder agenesis is a very rare anomaly which can cause many diagnostic and therapeutic dilemmas. About 20% of patients present with right upper quadrant pain, nausea and fatty food intolerance. This condition is frequently unrec- ognized and leads to unnecessary and potentially dangerous surgical procedures. We present a case report of a 46-year old woman who had clinical presentation of symptomatic cholelithiasis. The diagnosis of cholelithiasis was verified ul- trasonographically. We decided to perform laparoscopic cholecystectomy but during surgery gallbladder was not found. Laparoscopic procedure was therefore stopped and 7 days postoperatively MR Cholangiopancreatography was performed – it was clearly that patient had gallbladder agenesis.
