Abstract: Congenital anomalies (anatomical differences present at birth) are encountered in both the gallbladder and bile ducts. Most of these anomalies are usually of no clinical importance. However, some can lead to cholestasis, inflammation, gallstones, and cancer. This chapter on congenital anomalies and dilatation is from a textbook that familiarizes the reader with various imaging modalities, the information they provide, and the merits of each, in order to facilitate the combined use of different imaging techniques in the diagnosis and management of hepatobiliary (liver and bile tract) diseases. Topics include congenital dilatation of the bile duct, pancreaticobiliary maljunction and gallbladder anomalies of number, form, and position. 14 figures. 3 tables. 40 references.
