Percutaneous cholecystostomy and drainage of a retrohepatic gallbladder were performed in a patient with sclerosing cholangitis. Correlative imaging using computed tomography, ultrasound, percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography, and sulfur colloid liver scan of this unusual anomaly are presented herein.
