Sumario:BACKGROUND: Extrahepatic bile duct duplication is an extremely rare congenital anomaly in which two common bile ducts exist. There are five different types of this anomaly and we present an unusual variant of duplication of an extrahepatic biliary system of type Va variety. CASE PRESENTATION: This case report describes a 63-year-old women from rural Nepal who presented with type Va of duplicated extrahepatic bile duct, with chronic calculous cholecystitis and choledocholithiasis. She was managed with cholecystectomy with hepatic ductoplasty and hepaticojejunostomy. CONCLUSION: A rare case of double common bile duct (type Va) complicated by choledocholithiasis, cholangitis, and chronic cholecystitis is reported here. Rare cases are sometimes overlooked by modern diagnostic techniques. Correct diagnosis helps appropriate surgical intervention.
