- Abstract
Congenital absence of the common bile duct (CBD) is an extremely rare developmental anomaly with right and left hepatic ducts draining directly into the gallbladder (GB). Other synonyms for this clinical condition are "cholecystohepatic ducts", "transverse lie of the GB" or "interposition of the GB". The potential for iatrogenic injury is high, because of either inadvertent division or ligation of the ducts. Diagnosis is mostly made intraoperatively, and needs some form of biliary reconstruction. Herein, we are reporting a case of congenital absence of the CBD in a 36-year-old lady that was detected intraoperatively.
