Itis classified by Boyden into bilobed gallbladder with a single cystic duct (vesica fellea divisa) or trueduplication with separate cystic ducts (vesica fellea duplex) .  \nCase Presentation: A 50-year-old male presented with intermittent right upper quadrant abdominal pain for 2 months.Examination revealedicteric sclera and deranged liver function tests. Ultrasonography showed a contracted gallbladder witha dilated common bile duct and a calculus. Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) confirmed a V-shaped doublegallbladder with a single common cystic duct and filling defect. After treating a concurrent chest infection, laparoscopiccholecystectomy was performed. Intraoperatively, two gallbladders connected by a common cystic duct were found, with a stonein the intrahepatic gallbladder. The postoperative period was uneventful.  \nClinical Discussion: Duplicated gallbladder is a rare anatomical variant that can present diagnostic challenges. MRCP isthepreferred noninvasive imaging technique for accurate preoperative identification and surgical planning. Laparoscopiccholecys -tectomy isthe treatment of choice in symptomatic cases, with intraoperative cholangiography as an adjunct when diagnosis isunclear. Proper anatomical mapping is essential to prevent complications such as bile duct injury and hemorrhage.  \nConclusion: Accurate diagnosis and careful surgical planning are critical in managing double gallbladder cases to avoid iatrogenicinjuries. This case highlights the importance of using MRCP and intraoperative cholangiogram for optimal outcomesand addsvaluable regional data on this rare anomaly.  \nKeywords: congenital biliary anomaly, double gallbladder, laparoscopiccholecystectomy  \n## Introduction\n\nDouble gallbladder is a rare congenital anomaly with an inci -dence of 1 in 4000 births and is mostly encounteredincidentally[1] . Boyden classified the bilobed gallbladder withsingle cystic duct (vesica fellea divisa) and true duplication(vesica fellea duplex) with separate cystic ducts[2] . However,Harlaftis further refined the classification into three types:Type I (split primordium group with a single cystic duct), TypeII (true duplication with separate cystic ducts), and Type III(triple or multiple gallbladders) . This case falls under HarlaftisType I, which we confirm based on MRCP and intraoperativefindings.  \naGandaki Medical College and Teaching Hospital, Pokhara, Nepal, bManipalCollege of Medical Science, Pokhara, Nepal, cKIST Medical College and TeachingHospital, Lalitpur, Nepal and dNational Medical College, Birgunj, NepalSponsorships or competing interests that maybe relevant to the content aredisclosed atthe end of this article.  \n*Corresponding author.
