Abstract:
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to analyse pro-anorexia from a discursive, metaphorical standpoint in order to enable an understanding of how pro-anorexia functions as political resistance through technological bodies. Design/methodology/approach – Techno-metaphor is used to reveal how pro-anorexic communities online function through technology. Findings – Six techno-metaphors work to construct pro-anorexic cyborg embodiment through technology. This pro-anorexic cyborg embodiment offers relief from the tensions of patriarchal femininity and provides control over troublesome embodiment. Technology enables women experiencing anorexia to resist the dominant interpretations of their lived experience that subjugate them. Originality/value – This research offers an understanding of pro-anorexia as resistance to intolerable femininity and reconstructed female bodies through technology. By exploiting technological political space, pro-anorexics are claiming positions and forms of embodiment previously off-limits to women and their biological bodies.

Abstract:
SynopsisAbnormalities in central serotonin function have been implicated in the pathogenesis of anorexia nervosa. It is difficult, however, to separate neuroendocrine abnormalities induced by weight loss and malnutrition from those related primarily to the disorder itself. To minimize these influences, this study assessed long-term weight restored anorexics. A correlation between persistent eating-related psychopathology, co-morbid illness and serotonin dysfunction was sought. Nine female weight-restored out-patients who had previously fulfilled DSM-III-R criteria for anorexia nervosa and nine healthy controls participated. Following baseline estimation, prolactin and cortisol responses to 30 mg p.o. ofD-fenfluramine were measured over a 5 h period. Eating related psychopathology was assessed using the Eating Disorders Inventory and Eating Attitudes Test. Depressive and obsessional symptoms were measured using the Beck Depressive and Maudsley Obsessive–Compulsive Inventories respectively. The Tridimensional Personality Questionnaire assessed impulsivity. The weight-restored anorexic group exhibited persistent eating-related psychopathology and significant co-morbid symptomatology. There was no difference between long-term weight restored anorexics and controls in their endocrine response toD-fenfluramine. Long-term weight-recovered anorexic subjects continued to exhibit behavioural and attitudinal disturbances characteristic of anorexia nervosa. The results suggest that abnormalities in 5HT activity do not contribute significantly to trait status in anorexia nervosa.

Abstract:
In anorexia nervosa, amenorrhoea and endocrine disturbance make pregnancy unlikely while the patient's weight is low. Bulimics may conceive at quite a low weight, and anorexics who have regained weight may become pregnant but typically relapse following delivery (Crisp, 1980). Anorexia has also been reported following termination of pregnancy (Thomas & Harris, 1982). Cases of onset of anorexia nervosa with weight loss during pregnancy are rare in the literature, although there are isolated reports (e.g. Weinfeld et al, 1977; Strimling, 1984). Strimling described a treated anorexic who restarted dieting during pregnancy in response to weight gain before she realised that she was pregnant. We report on a schoolgirl who became pregnant at 14 years, whose anorexia began when she was 5 months pregnant and whose pregnancy was not discovered until she was in labour.

Abstract:
Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) or cachectin has been proposed as an important mediator of cancer anorexia and cachexia. The present studies examined the extent to which TNF administration generates symptoms similar to those produced by tumor growth. Like the growth of certain tumors, TNF administration was found to be associated with the development of strong aversions to a novel diet. Area postrema lesions were found to significantly attenuate the effects of TNF on intake of a novel diet, a finding previously reported for tumor anorexia. In addition, the anorexic effects of TNF differed considerably as a function of the novelty of the diet. When the available diet was novel, effects of TNF in lowering food intake were substantial, whereas more modest effects were seen when the diet was familiar. These findings provide evidence for parallels between TNF- and tumor-induced anorexias. Nonetheless, these studies also confirm previous observations of the rapid development of tolerance to the anorexic effects of TNF, a finding that is not consistent with a role for TNF as a critical mediator of tumor anorexia.

Abstract:
Bulimia nervosa is an eating disorder that, like anorexia nervosa, is of psychological origin and can have horrible physical consequences. While anorexics simply starve themselves, bulimics “cleanse” themselves of vomiting they have caused themselves or other forms of dealing with extra calories. Bulimics also often use weight loss pills, laxatives and diuretics to lose weight, but also use extensive exercise or fasting. Unlike anorexic people, they are usually of normal build, sometimes even bigger, while in combination with anorexia they are extremely thin. Cleansing can have two purposes: preventing weight gain, and temporarily relieving depression and other negative feelings.

Abstract:
Women's sense of threatened or threatening boundaries, bodily and psychological, are implicated in complaints such as anorexia and bulimia, on the one hand, and agoraphobia and claustrophobia on the other. Like agoraphobia, anorexia is a predominantly female complaint. Affecting around five to ten percent of American women and leading to contemporary death råtes at around 150,000 ayear in America alone (Brumberg), it is reportededly on the increase, and has been so since World War II. Is there some relation between feminism's bid for independence and the rise in anorexia? It is theorized that anorexics, after a period of (futile?) protest and clamoring, succumb to the family's critical attitude and shift strategies in their struggle toward independence: instead, they become anorexics. Possibly, the increase of anorexia after World War II cotdd be related to the transformation of women's situation and the concomitant changes in expectations. This has led some antifeminists, unaware of the history of anorexia, to blame feminism for the rise in anorexia. At the same time, most women in the Western world, in my view, are bulimarexics to some degree, something that is reflected and compounded in women's magazines with their continuous and contradictory parades of feasting and fasting. On one leve), anorexia can be seen as a retreat from the world and a shrinking in space - a centripetal contraction of oneself, perhaps in defense. In its insatiability, bulimia, on the other hand, appears to be anorexia's centrifugal opposite. I do not, however, think of these complaints as opposites. Rather, I think that there is both in anorexia and bulimia, and in bulimarexia, a desire to break out of the boundaried space that is the female body as defined in Western culture: a paradoxical refusal to curb one's voracity. If spaciousness and freedom are interimplicated, as I would like to suggest - open spaces associating to freedom and freedom presupposing space in which one can tnove without restraint - then anorexia, like bulimia and bulimarexia, is a way of requesting more space - hut a differently constituted space.

Abstract:
Introduction: Some studies show that post-chemotherapy cancer patients experience nausea vomiting and anorexia, in RSUP Dr. Wahidin Sudirohusodo also found difficulties with nausea vomiting and anorexia. Aims: To the study was to prevent vomiting of nausea and anorexia in cancer patients after chemotherapy. Methods: 60 post-chemotherapy cancer patients who experienced nausea vomiting and anorexia were included in a crosssectional study. The selected subject fulfills the criteria. Study inclusion: Patients diagnosed with cancer in the Lontara 2 Chemotherapy Room. Patients who have received chemotherapy, adjuvant chemotherapy and additional chemotherapy, are ≥ 21 years old. Nausea and vomiting were measured using the INVR questionnaire and anorexia using a history of anorexia questionnaire. Data were analyzed using descriptive analysis. Results: based on the characteristics of respondents nausea and anorexia vomiting distributed 41-50 years, female sex, secondary school education, working as a housewife, cycles 1-4 times. Conclusion: Cancer patients after chemotherapy experience vomiting of nausea and anorexia. Nausea vomiting is caused by the effects of chemotherapy drugs which stimulate the digestive system, causing moderate and severe nausea and anorexia.

Abstract:
Anorexia nervosa has emerged as a prominent eating disorder affecting young women. This disorder's fundamental characteristic is an abnormally low weight achieved by severe calorie restriction and refusal to maintain body weight at or above the minimally normal weight for age and height. It is a complex disorder with its origins still not explicitly defined. In anorexic individuals, an imbalance in the molecular signalling and hypothalamic neuropeptides is believed to be significantly responsible for alterations in the biological mechanisms associated with body weight, appetite and energy homeostasis. The imbalance between the genetic systems such as serotonin, dopamine, brain-derived neurotrophic factor, estrogen and their interactions are significantly observed in anorexic as well as recovered anorexic individuals. The dopaminergic pathway is involved in reward mechanisms but its dysfunction might cause weight loss, food aversion, hyperactivity, obsessive compulsive behaviours, distorted body image. An abnormal serotonin function reveals personality traits such as rigidity, inhibition, anxiety, inflexibility, perfectionism and harm avoidance. The Met66 variant of brain derived neurotrophic factor is strongly associated with the development of restricting-type anorexia nervosa. The development of anorexia has been linked to estrogen receptor beta gene variants, which also regulate food intake and states of anxiety and depression.This review discusses the neurobiological dysregulations because of which anorexics tend to have a distinct personality profile characterized by behaviour patterns comprising perfectionism, obsessive-compulsive disorder, harm avoidance, alexithymia, anger suppression, anxiety, rigidity, novelty seeking, anhedonia, depression, impulsivity, substance abuse, self harm etc. Heterogeneities in the characteristic profile are observed based on the subdivisions of anorexia nervosa. The impact of malnutrition has also been scrutinized.

Abstract:
In this paper the literature on body image disturbance in anorexic patients is reviewed. After a decade of experimental investigation of body image in anorexia nervosa, where old and new techniques have been used and where a large number of correlations have been identified, what do we really know? The findings have been conflicting but some regularities exist. It is hypothesized that the conflicting results may be related to the presence of different subgroups among anorexics and different types of body image disturbance. Body size estimation is only one dimension of body image perception. likewise, body size overestimation is only one aspect of body image perception. Likewise, body size over-estimation is only one aspect of body image disturbance. Some, but not all anorexics, overestimate their body size, and those who do, seem to have poor prognosis. Body size overestimation is not confined to anorexics. It is not known whether it is a function of a general perceptual/cognitive disorder, but it does seem to be stable over time. The implications of the presence of other psychiatric conditions in anorexic patients are discussed and suggestions for future research and for practice are made.

Bakgrund: Anorexia Nervosa är en psykiatrisk sjukdom som främst drabbar unga kvinnor mellan 15 och 23 år med hög mortalitet. Sjukdomen orsakar ätstörning vilket medför kraftig viktnedgång. Syftet: Syftet är att beskriva kvinnors upplevelser av att leva med Anorexia Nervosa. Metod: Denna studie är genomförd av kvalitativ metod med analys av narratives. Datainsamlingen är baserad på fyra självbiografier skrivna av kvinnor som drabbats av Anorexia Nervosa. Resultat: Resultatet visade att samtliga kvinnor har haft olika upplevelser av Anorexia Nervosa. Kvinnornas upplevelser delas in i tre olika teman vilket förtydligades med citat. Teman som beskrivs avspelar kvinnors olika upplevelser. De teman som uppkom var Det svåruppnåeliga kvinnoidealet, Den ångestfyllda tillvaron, Betydelsen av att ha kontroll. Slutsats: Anorexia är en komplex psykiatrisk sjukdom som kräver en optimal omvårdnad med beredskap och förståelse från vårdpersonal. Sjuksköterskor strävar efter att förhindra ett lidande och främja hälsa i vårdandet av patienter. Studiens resultat bidrog med en bredare kunskap och förståelse kring sjukdomen Anorexia Nervosa för en optimal återhämtning hos patient.
Background: Anorexia nervosa is a psychiatric disorder that primarily affects young women between 15 and 23 years with high mortality. The disease causes eating disorder resulting in significant weight loss. Purpose: Purpose of the study was to describe women's experiences of living with anorexia nervosa. Method: This study was conducted by qualitative method of analysis of narratives. Data collection was based on four autobiographies written by women who have lived with Anorexia Nervosa. Results: The results showed that all women have had different experiences of Anorexia Nervosa. This experiences were divided into three different themes which are clarified with quote. Themes described reflects women's different experiences with anorexia nervosa, which is the elusive ideal of women, the anguished existence and the importance of being in control. Conclusion: Anorexia is a complex psychiatric illness that requires an optimum care of preparedness and understanding of health professionals. Nurses strive to prevent suffering and promote health in the care of patients. The study's results contributed to a wider knowledge and understanding of the disease anorexia nervosa for optimal recovery of the patient.

Abstract:
This thesis attempts a sociological and feminist analysis of anorexia nervosa. Anorexia is an illness which affects predominantly women, and its incidence is greatest among middle-class young women in Western countries. Its strong bias along class and gender lines suggests that such an approach to the illness could prove fruitful. The thesis argues that analysis of anorexia demands a clear understanding of the sociology of the body. The sociology of the body sees the body as constructed in social life: understandings of the body vary temporally and culturally, and reflect the categories of their culture. It is suggested that anorexia nervosa represents an attempted transformation of the concept of the feminine body in contemporary culture. Anorexic women aim to transcend appetite, and to allow no intrusions into the body, constructing an anorexic body which is closed, separate and inviolable. Since this transformation is individuated and privatised, however, it cannot ultimately succeed in overturning a system of social meanings. The thesis concludes that individual solutions to anorexia will not lead to the end of the illness as a social phenomenon in the lives of women. Only collective feminist action can reconstruct the degraded contemporary concept of woman. The argument is pursued firstly through a discussion of the initial use of the term `anorexia nervosa' in the late nineteenth century by Gull and Lasegue. The treatment of anorexia as a modern disease is discussed, and the claim that anorexia has always existed but has not been recognised is refuted. Psychiatric and feminist accounts of anorexia are then considered. The former see anorexia as a purely individual phenomenon, and the limitations of this position are discussed. Feminist analyses of anorexia, in seeing it as deeply intertwined with women's social position in a patriarchal culture, are argued to advance understanding of the illness, while still retaining individualist elements. The next section analyses the ways in which anorexic women themselves explain their illness. This leads on to a discussion of the notion of the body as concept. After a theoretical outline, several body-concepts are analysed and placed in their social and historical contexts. Contemporary understandings of the body as an individuated possession are then discussed, with particular focus on the concept of the feminine body as passive object. Objectification, discipline and chaos are argued to be the central meanings of the feminine body in contemporary culture. Analysis of the issues of abortion and rape seek to make this theoretical point clearer. A detailed analysis of anorexic practices looks at how these meanings are transformed in anorexia. It is suggested that anorexic women try to construct an inviolate anorexic body which is completely under their control through a complexly ritualised eating pattern. The precarious nature of this control points to the limitations of individual `solutions' to social problems.

Abstract:
This thesis aimed to examine the functioning of families with a sufferer of Anorexia Nervosa (AN), using self-report measures and a direct observation family discussion task. Researchers and clinicians have long been interested in the interactional patterns of these sufferers within the family unit, although few have furthered our understanding of the interplay between family functioning, cohesion and emotional expression and issues such as control, by directly examining these interactions. The construct of control has been another area of interest in recent research, although how it is constructed and operates within this disorder remains unclear and ambiguous. Thus the purpose of this research was to expand the study of adolescents suffering Anorexia Nervosa who still resided within the family unit, from merely studying self-report measures and retrospective surveys of recovery, to include a direct examination of sufferers and their families at the time of the disorder. Participants included 16 female sufferers of Anorexia Nervosa and their parents, 17 drug and alcohol sufferers, and 18 non-clinic families. Both parents and their daughters completed self-report inventories assessing their clinical status as well as family functioning and marital happiness. In addition, family members participated in a series of family discussion tasks which were coded for the dimensions of autonomy, cohesiveness, avoidance and control. In Study 1 (Chapter 7), the self-report measures of the anorexic families were examined specifically in relation to the construct of control acting as a mediating variable between level of dysfunction and severity of the disorder. Consistent with previous research, levels of marital happiness and family cohesion influenced the severity level of the daughter's Anorexia Nervosa. This study also explored the construct of control within the family system and found that the more moral-religious emphasis in the family, the more concerned the daughter was with her weight. At the same time daughters were reporting higher levels of moral-religious emphasis, they were reporting higher levels of self-control. The daughters in this study appeared to be inconsistent in their behavioural responses. The daughters' weight concern increased with their own reported levels of moral-religious emphasis in the family. However, as this emphasis increased, so too did their control scores. It was supposed that conflict may be created in a family when strong religious and/or strong moral values are emphasized, particularly when one of the family members suffers AN. This issue is discussed in depth. Study 2 sought to examine these variables further by using a direct observation family discussion task to compare an independent observer's ratings to the family's ratings of the discussion, across the three groups. The study examined the daughters' and mothers' perceptions and compared significant results to the observer's ratings. This study highlighted that the mothers of sufferers appeared not to be concerned about their own bodies and weight, and not distressed when discussing with their daughters the issues of control in the areas of family, body, school and friends. Furthermore, the anorexic daughters presented as more sad and anxious than the two other groups and indicated that their parents had more control over their bodies than they did themselves. Finally, for the majority of participating families, the fathers were absent and this issue is explored.

Abstract:
This thesis analyses clinical knowledge surrounding anorexia. What clinicians say and write about anorexia constitutes a key area of clinical knowledge. This knowledge is complex and has many dimensions. It identifies typical "manifestations" of the illness, such as "fear of fatness". It also identifies the type of woman (e.g. her age or social class) likely to suffer from the disorder. Most importantly, clinical knowledge suggests that anorexia has specific "causes". Anorexia, clinicians inform us, represents a flight from adulthood on the part of girls who are intensely afraid of becoming fat. This thesis analyses this complex psychiatric model, using a number of different methods. The study argues that psychiatry constructs a stereotype of the anorexic. This stereotype is visible in two areas. Firstly an archetype of the sufferer's cognitive symptoms is visible. This suggests that anorexics fear fatness and are afraid to grow up. Secondly a stereotype of the anorexic's demographic profile is apparent. This constitutes the sufferer as young, middle class, educated, and urban. The study examines the accuracy of this stereotype among a sample of 104 anorexics. Using open and closed ended-data the study suggests that the "anorexic stereotype" may have limited empirical support. In the current study, patients suggested that anorexia was a strategy of control. The concept of control, while validly describing patients' experiences may partly have been acquired by patients from clinicians. The thesis appraises patients' testimonies to examine the extent to which patients have acquired such "medicalised" language. It also analyses 24 doctor-patient interviews and concludes that doctors may encourage patients to view their disorder in clinical terms. Using feminist theory, and theory from the sociology of chronic illness, the findings of the thesis are analysed from a sociological perspective.

The objective of the present research was to analyze a pro-anorexia blog indentifying the control relationships between the blog manager and the users of it. In order to do so, at first all posted messages by the manager and the commentaries by the readers were categorized and later the relationships between the verbal responses were analyzed. For each theme introduced by the manager s messages and by the blog users commentaries it was verified whether there was agreement/repetition or disagreement by the other readers. Forty four themes in seven messages and 605 commentaries were identified. The majority of the themes could be classified in pro-anorexia and anti-anorexia themes. The pro-anorexia theme more frequently observed on the manager s messages was the reported negative feelings related to being fat . However the most commented by the readers was the fact that anorexia is a sickness which causes pain and death. The manager s messages accompanied by photos were followed by the major number of commentaries. Among the most used persuasion resources by the manager are the artifices of strength as caps lock, italics and bold. The majority (77, 4%) of the readers identified themselves with female nicknames. One may come to the conclusion that mutual verbal control occurred, once the readers questioned the manager, asked more information and extra blog contact and the manager replied directly some readers
O objetivo da presente pesquisa foi analisar um blog pró-anorexia identificando as relações de controle entre a gerenciadora do mesmo e seus leitores. Para isso foram categorizadas todas as mensagens postadas pela gerenciadora e os comentários dos leitores, o que permitiu uma análise das relações entre essas respostas verbais. Para cada tema introduzido nas mensagens da gerenciadora e nos comentários dos leitores do blog, verificou-se se houve concordância/repetição por outros leitores ou discordância. Foram identificados 44 temas em sete mensagens e em 605 comentários. A maioria dos temas pode ser classificada em temas pró-anorexia e anti-anorexia. O tema pró-anorexia mais freqüentemente observado nas mensagens da gerenciadora foi o relato de sentimentos negativos relacionados a estar gorda . Contudo o tema mais comentado pelos leitores foi o fato de que a anorexia é uma doença que causa sofrimento e morte. As mensagens da gerenciadora que foram acompanhadas de fotos receberam o maior número de comentários. Entre os recursos de persuasão mais utilizados pela gerenciadora estão os artifícios de força como o uso de caixa alta, itálico e negrito. A maioria (77,4%) dos leitores identificou-se com apelidos femininos. Pode-se concluir que ocorreu controle verbal mútuo, uma vez que os leitores questionaram a gerenciadora, pediram informações e contato extra-blog e a gerenciadora respondeu diretamente a alguns leitores

Abstract:
1-. ¿Con qué tipo de anorexia nerviosa aparece este tipo de consumo de tóxico, y su frecuencia? -. ¿Cuál es la mejor intervención para abordar estos casos? 2.Este trabajo surge de la presencia de varios casos clínicos, en personas con un trastorno de la conducta alimentaria, apareciendo principalmente en la anorexia nerviosa de tipo atracones/purgativo, unido a la comorbilidad de consumo de tóxicos, siendo el principal consumo que se realiza es estos casos de alcohol. O lo que se denomina en la actualidad con el término alcohorexia (drunkorexia). En las anorexias nerviosas de tipo atracones/purgas con la comorbilidad de trastorno por abuso de alcohol se da con una frecuencia del 33%. Donde la diferencia de género es muy llamativa, siendo más frecuente en mujeres. Como sabemos el trastorno de consumo de alcohol es la tercera enfermedad psiquiátrica más prevalente. Y la prevalencia del trastorno de anorexia nerviosa es de un 0,5-1%. A su vez, la mejor forma de intervención en el caso de estas pacientes es: la primera la recuperación ponderal, aunque no es el objetivo principal, ayuda mucho en la recuperación de los procesos cognitivos y por ello, en las intervenciones psicoterapéuticas como la psicoterapia cognitivo-conductual. Aportaremos un caso clínico donde se observa la evolución de una de las pacientes que tratamos por ambas patologías. 3.En cuanto a las conclusiones, nos encontramos con que es importante que durante la exploración psicopatológica tengamos en cuenta la posibilidad de comorbilidad con el consumo de alcohol en este tipo de pacientes, donde un trastorno de la conducta alimentaria, se puede ver agravado y perpetuado por un consumo de tóxicos, como el alcohol. Por ello, debemos de realizar un abordaje conjunto, por medio de la psicoterapia cognitivo-conductual y el apoyo farmacológico, siempre que el estado físico de la persona nos lo permita.

Abstract:
Review question / Objective: The aim of this systematic review is to synthesize the scientific evidence that evaluates fatigue and fracture resistance, survival, and stress distribution, of composite resin CAD/CAM and ceramic CAD/CAM occlusal veneers in posterior teeth with severe occlusal wear. Condition being studied: Currently there is an increase in cases of dental wear, due to several factors such as: excessive consumption of carbonated drinks, a diet high in acids, gastric diseases, anorexia, bulimia, dental grinding, use of highly abrasive toothpastes, or a combination of these(9) (10) (11) (12); which affect the patient in several aspects: loss of vertical dimension, sensitivity due to the exposure of dentin, esthetics, affectation of the neuromuscular system(11) (13) (14). With the advent of minimally invasive dentistry, occlusal veneers have been found to be a valid option to rehabilitate this type of cases and thus avoid greater wear of the dental structure with full coverage restorations. Sometimes when performing a tabletop it is not necessary to perform any preparation, thus preserving the maximum amount of dental tissue(3) (6) (15). Due to the masticatory load either in patients without parafunction where the maximum masticatory force is approximately 424 N for women and 630 N for men or in those who present parafunction where the maximum bite force can vary from 780 to 1120N(7), it is necessary that the occlusal veneers support that load which makes indispensable a compilation of studies investigating both fatigue and fracture resistance and the survival rate of occlusal veneers in different materials and thicknesses.

Intraoperatively Diagnosed Double Cystic Duct During Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy: A Case Report of a Surgical Dilemma for the Operating Surgeons. Science Repository, April 2024. http://dx.doi.org/10.31487/j.ajscr.2024.01.04.

Full text
Abstract:
Introduction and Importance: A double cystic duct with a single gallbladder is one of the extremely uncommon variations of the cystic duct and only a few cases were reported in literature. Case Presentation: A 33-year-old female, with an unremarkable medical history, presented to the emergency department with a 2-day history of right upper quadrant abdominal (RUQ) pain. The abdominal pain was gradually increasing in intensity radiating to the back and was associated with anorexia and multiple episodes of vomiting. Abdominal examination revealed RUQ pain and tenderness. Abdominal ultrasonography was performed, showing a markedly distended gallbladder with evidence of a few calculi one of which was impacted at the neck. laparoscopic cholecystectomy was done within 2 days of admission during which another luminal structure was identified that suggested a double cystic duct. Clinical Discussion: Anomalies of the biliary tree are common with the classical anatomical picture presenting in only 33% of cholecystectomy cases. However, the presence of a double cystic duct is a rare variation, especially in the case of a single gallbladder. The identification of such anomaly can be achieved preoperatively using imaging modalities or it can be identified during the surgical procedure itself. such identification reduces the chances of postoperative comorbidities. Conclusion: Pre-operative identification of biliary tract anomalies by different imaging modalities is limited. Hence the importance of cautiousness and achieving a proper critical view of safety intra-operatively to prevent possible complications intra- and post-operatively. Our case report emphasizes the diagnostic and surgical challenges of the double cystic duct.
