INTRODUCTION:
Gallbladder torsion is a rare phenomenon of an acute abdomen. It was first described in 1898 by Wendel in a 25-year-old pregnant woman[1]. It happens when adhesion between the gallbladder and liver is lost. The cause of torsion is usually due to underlying anatomical variations. Acute cholecystitis is the most common presentation of gall bladder volvulus. the preoperative diagnosis presents a dilemma[2]. We report a rare case of gallbladder volvulus in a young age male diagnosed preoperatively as acute cholecystitis. Widely patients are falsely diagnosed with acute cholecystitis and there is a delay in surgical treatment so we hope to promote awareness and encourage prompt surgical management in patients with suspected gallbladder torsion.
