Case description

Usually multiple tiny veins and venous twigs drain the gallbladder, but their pattern is variable. Much of the gallbladder that lies against the liver drains via small veins into hepatic sinusoids (the gallbladder bed), while other cystic veins (often near the neck) empty into intrahepatic branches or tributaries of the portal venous system. They usually do not run as a single named vein alongside the cystic artery, and they are often small - which is why older teaching sometimes loosely said “no cystic vein.”
