Gallbladder Agenesis and Cystic Duct Absence in an Adult Patient Diagnosed by Magnetic Resonance Cholangiography: Report of a Case and Review of the Literature

<table>3D-MIP breath-hold acquisition of a single slice in the coronal plane demonstrates the absence of both the gallbladder and the cystic duct or an ectopic gallbladder. The intrahepatic bile ducts appear normal with no images of stenosis or repletion defects. The hepatocholedocho  is visualized until the second part of the duodenum, in correspondence to the Major papilla. Also the Wirsung duct demonstrates an anatomical variation; it is visualized until the initial part of the duodenum, in correspondence to the Minor papilla.</table>
