Extrahepatic bile duct duplication is a rare biliary anomaly often associated with conditions like cholecysto-choledocholithiasis, choledochal cyst and malignancy. Precise preoperative diagnosis using conventional radiologic imaging still remains a challenge and use of existing classification system is equally confusing. A female patient diagnosed with choledochal cyst by magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography was found to have an associated new variant of double common bile duct during surgery.

Precise preoperative diagnosis and classification still remain a challenge. A female patient undergoing emergency laparoscopic cholecystectomy for acute calculous cholecystitis sustained iatrogenic bile duct injury.

Human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) is a hematopoietic hormone promoting the growth, proliferation, differentiation and maturation of myeloid and leukocytic lineages. G-csfs have been used to improve granulocyte count in neutropenic patients, reduce the incidence and duration of neutropenia in patients receiving cytotoxic chemotherapy and to mobilize peripheral blood stem cells prior to leukapheresis for using in both autologous and allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation. In general, side-effects are mild to moderate and life threatening side-effects like splenic rupture are very rare.
