ABSTRACT

Introduction: Gallbladder torsion is uncommon and difficult to diagnose before surgery.

Case Description: We present a case of gallbladder torsion and review the literature on etiology, clinical presentation, radiological diagnosis, and intraoperative pitfalls.

Conclusion: A high index of suspicion for this rare entity and early surgical intervention are key in reducing mortality and preventing operative complications.

Key Words: Gallbladder, Laparoscopic cholecystectomy, Torsion abnormality.
