Torsion of the gallbladder

Abstract

A 77-year-old Japanese woman with torsion of the gallbladder was surgically treated. Perhaps because of its rarity, the diagnosis is seldom made clinically, the condition generally being recognized only at laparotomy. Discussed herein are the possibility of preoperative diagnosis of this condition and the usefulness of ultrasonotomography.
