description INTRODUCTION: A 77-year-old woman was seen with progressive abdominal pain. CASES: A CT scan was made and showed a large gallbladder extending into the right lower abdomen. Ultrasound was performed but demonstrated no gallstones. Laparoscopy showed a tordated, necrotic gallbladder that was attached to the liver only by the cystic artery and cystic duct. Cholecystectomy was performed. CONCLUSIONS: Torsion of the gallbladder is a rare but clinically important condition in which the diagnosis seldom is made preoperatively. In radiological and clinical signs of cholecystitis without gallstones, this condition should be considered.
