Gallbladder agenesis (GA) is a very uncommon disorder of the biliary system. Diagnosis of GA can be difficult and may result in unnecessary procedures. In this case report, we will discuss our experience with an intraoperative accidental diagnosis of GA in a middle-aged woman that was effectively treated. Case Presentation. A 46-year-old woman presented with abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and intolerance to meals. Laparoscopic surgery was conducted based on sonographic imaging and a preliminary diagnosis of chronic cholecystitis. No gallbladder was seen during laparoscopy, and the patient was diagnosed as a case of GA. The laparoscopy was terminated, and the patient was referred for magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) to confirm the diagnosis. Finally, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and sphincterotomy were performed to alleviate symptoms. After one year of follow-up, the patient\u2019s overall condition is satisfactory and symptom-free. Conclusion. Our case exemplifies this common blunder. Therefore, we are reporting a case of GA discovered intraoperatively to increase surgeons\u2019 awareness and preparedness for this possible differential diagnosis and minimize unnecessary operational intervention.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2022\/3209658","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,24]],"date-time":"2022-06-24T00:05:12Z","timestamp":1656029112000},"page":"1-4","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Gallbladder Agenesis without Additional Biliary Tracts Abnormality"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2022","author":[{"given":"Seyed Mostafa","family":"Meshkati Yazd","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hamidreza","family":"Bayati","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Iran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sara Sadat","family":"Nabavizadeh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Student Research Committee, Shiraz University of Medical Sciences, Shiraz, Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5454-495X","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Reza","family":"Shahriarirad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Thoracic and Vascular Surgery Research Center, Shiraz University of Medical Science, Shiraz, Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","reference":[{"doi-asserted-by":"publisher","key":"1","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijscr.2021.105875"},{"doi-asserted-by":"publisher","key":"2","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cursur.2005.04.018"},{"doi-asserted-by":"publisher","key":"3","DOI":"10.11604\/pamj.2020.37.259.23268"},{"doi-asserted-by":"publisher","key":"4","DOI":"10.1186\/s12887-018-1343-0"},{"issue":"3","key":"5","first-page":"237","article-title":"Gallbladder agenesis: a case report","volume":"91","author":"M.
