case report
case report
Torsion of the gallbladder with gangrene is a rare condition which is generally
due to an abnormal anatomical variation of the organ i.e., loss of fixation of the
organ to the inferior margin of the liver and the presence of a long meso cyst.
The case considered is a seven year old boy who presented with acute
abdominal pain. He underwent laparotomy 36 hours after having sustained blunt
abdominal trauma. Operation was limited to cholecystectomy and removal of a
gangrenous gallbladder which had undergone torsion. The postoperative course
was uneventful.
