Abstract

Introduction: Bile duct malformations are extremely rare, and generally do not present complications that justify urgent surgical intervention. When it occurs, the clinical picture is similar to that of a patient with a gallbladder without congenital malformations.
Objective: Describe a case of acute abdomen due to complicated gallbladder duplication.
Clinical case: 46-year-old patient with a history of dyspepsia, who came the emergency with acute abdominal pain. Gallbladder gangrene is diagnosed, and surgical treatment is decided. During surgery, a double vesicular system was found, one area ofnecrosis and the other with chronic inflammatory changes. Cholecystectomy is performed on both organs. The evolution was favorable.
Conclusions: The occurrence of an acute abdomen in a patient with gallbladder duplication is infrequent. The case is presented that contributes to deepen the knowledge about the course of action in this disease.
