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.
