description Anatomical variations occurring in the bile ducts, including the duct of Luschka, are very common. It is essential for radiologists and surgeons to understand these anomalies so they can diagnose them before and during the surgery to prevent postoperative complications. In this report, we present the case of two patients who were admitted to the emergency department for abdominal pain and fever following cholecystectomy. Postoperative imaging led to the diagnosis of injury to the duct of Luschka.
