Left-sided Gallbladder in a Patient with Gilbert Syndrome: An Unfamiliar Clinical Association

Left-sided gallbladder (LSG) is a rare congenital anomaly where the gallbladder is located to the left of the round ligament. It can occur alone or as part of situs inversus syndrome. Gilbert Syndrome (GS) is a benign hereditary condition characterized by intermittent unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia. We describe the case of a young male patient presenting with jaundice and symptomatic cholelithiasis found to have a left-sided gallbladder, with a known diagnosis of Gilbert Syndrome. This clinical finding highlights the importance of recognizing anatomical variants to avoid intraoperative complications and considering underlying liver status that might affect clinical interpretation.

Abstract

Left-sided gallbladder (LSG) is a rare congenital anomaly where the gallbladder is located to the left of the round ligament. It can occur alone or as part of situs inversus syndrome. Gilbert Syndrome (GS) is a benign hereditary condition characterized by intermittent unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia. We describe the case of a young male patient presenting with jaundice and symptomatic cholelithiasis found to have a left-sided gallbladder, with a known diagnosis of Gilbert Syndrome. This clinical finding highlights the importance of recognizing anatomical variants to avoid intraoperative complications and considering underlying liver status that might affect clinical interpretation.
