SAN MIGUEL LOPEZ, Lara et al. Where is the gallbladder?. Rev Pediatr Aten Primaria [online]. 2020, vol.22, n.88, pp.407-409.  Epub Jan 24, 2022. ISSN 1139-7632.

A case of an infant with prenatally diagnosed gallbladder agenesis is reported. This is an uncommon finding, being detected in most cases by chance during a surgical exploration. It is not uncommon for it to produce symptoms (25-30%), and when it does, it is indistinguishable from other biliary pathologies. The fundamental challenge in this entity is its pre-surgical diagnosis, each day more feasible given the advances in imaging techniques. Given the low rate of complications and their good evolution, it is an entity with a favorable prognosis.
