Sažetak
Gastroshiza je defekt trbušne stijenke kroz koji protrudiraju trbušni organi i često je udružena s drugim malformacijama. Najčešće se radi o crijevnim (tri četvrtine), rjeđe ju prate urološke, srčane i malformacije ekstrahepatičkog bilijarnog stabla. Duplikature žučnog mjehura u općoj populaciji su relativno rijetke i javljaju se 1 na 3000–4000. U ovom prikazu slučaja prezentirat ćemo slučaj novorođenčeta s gastroshizom udruženom s duplikaturom žučnog mjehura. Kod novorođenčeta je pronađena kompletna duplikatura žučnog mjehura s dva odvojena duktusa cistikusa (tip 2 po Boydenu). Smjernica za postupak kod duplikature žučnog mjehura u novorođenčadi s gastroshizom nema, mi smo postupili po smjernicama za duplikaturu žučnog mjehura u općoj populaciji. Duplikature žučnog mjehura udružene s gastroshizom ne zahtijevaju aktivno kirurško liječenje ako nisu simptomatske ili ako ne postoji druga malformacija bilijarnog sustava.
Summary

Gastroschisis is a defect of the anterior abdominal wall through which viscera can protrude, and can be followed by additional malformations. Three quarters of the gastroschisis malformations are confined to the midgut. Other malformations are urologic and cardiac malformations and malformations of extrahepatic biliary tract. Duplication of gallbladder in general population is relatively rare, occurring once in every 3,000 to 4,000.In this case report we will present a case of an infant with gastroschisis accompanied with the duplication of gallbladder. In the newborn a complete duplication of gallbladder was found with two separate cystic ducts, i.e. type 2 by Boyden. Since the guidelines for duplication of the gallbladder associated with gastroschisis do not exist, we acted according to the guidelines for duplication of the gallbladder in the general population, i.e. nonsurgical intervention was performed on the biliary tree. Duplications of the gallbladder associated with gastroschisis do not require active surgical treatment, unless they are symptomatic or if there is other malformation of the biliary system.
