Multiple Vascular Anomalies with Double Gallbladder - A Case Report

While doing the routine dissection in NRS Medical College, Kolkata, we came across a cadaver (a male subject about 70 years old) who had multiple vascular anomalies along with double gallbladder. Among the vascular anomalies there were persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC), left sided azygos vein ( draining into the PLSVC), left vertebral artery arising from the arch of aorta and the right gonadal vein draining into the right renal vein at a right angle. There were two gall bladders on the undersurface of the liver with two separate cystic ducts opening into the common bile duct. One of these two gallbladders was supplied by a cystic artery arising from the gastroduodenal artery and the other one was supplied by the cystic branch of the right hepatic artery. This study may enhance our knowledge in the field of Embryology and may help the clinicians to adopt an investigative (like coronary angiography) or surgical procedure.
