ABSTRACT
Gallbladder torsion, also known as volvulus, is a rare condition that can be fatal unless surgery is performed expediently.AWe report a case of gallbladder torsion. A 92-year-old woman presented with acute abdominal pain. Laboratory parameters were all within normal limits, with the exception of leukocytosis. Plain abdominal radiography showed no remarkable findings. Abdominal CT revealed an abnormal gallbladder with wall thickening, suggesting the presence of acute cholecystitis. At operation, the gallbladder was twisted, and the wall of was thickened with acute inflammation. We report the details of this case along with a review of the literature.
