Abstract
This case report details a rare instance of gallbladder diverticulum, highlighting the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges associated with this condition. Gallbladder diverticulum is an uncommon anomaly that often mimics the symptoms of more prevalent gallbladder diseases, making an accurate diagnosis challenging. The patient, a 55-year-old female, presented with atypical abdominal pain and was initially suspected to have chronic cholecystitis. Ultrasound examinations and subsequent enhanced computed tomography imaging revealed a gallbladder diverticulum without the presence of gallstones or polyps. Given the rarity of this condition and the potential for complications, a laparoscopic cholecystectomy was performed. The surgery was successful, and the patient's symptoms were completely resolved postoperatively, confirming the diagnosis. This report underscores the importance of considering gallbladder diverticulum in the differential diagnosis for atypical gallbladder symptoms and advocates for prompt surgical intervention to prevent complications. Our findings contribute to the limited literature on this rare condition and emphasize the need for awareness among clinicians to achieve optimal patient outcomes.
