Abstract
Although the cystic duct has diverse variations, a double cystic
duct is rarely found. Only 20 cases had been reported until late
2017. In the present study, we describe a 58-year-old woman
with a double cystic duct who initially presented with a passed
stone and pancreatitis concomitant with a gallbladder containing
microlithiasis. The double cystic duct was not detected in
preoperative endoscopic ultrasonography; and the anomaly
was an incidental finding during laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
The patient had no postoperative complications and was
discharged uneventfully. Postoperative magnetic resonance
cholangiography showed a normal biliary tree structure.
