Gallbladder (GB) torsion is defined as a rotation of the GB on its mesentery along the axis of the cystic duct and cystic artery. It is a rare case that might be the cause of GB necrosis and consequent acute abdomen. To date, approximately 500 patients with GB torsion have been reported. In this case, the patient is a 42-year-old woman who was admitted to our hospital with abdominal pain. The patient was subjected to laparotomy; during the operation, a GB torsion resulting in necrosis was observed, and cholecystectomy was performed. (Eurasian J Emerg Med 2015; 14: 197-8)

“…[2] The incidence of GB torsion increases with age and is more common in elderly women, with a male to female ratio of 1:3. [1,3] GB torsion occurs when it rotates along the long axis of the cystic artery and cystic duct. Predisposing factors for this rotation are either short/absent mesentery or long mesentery resulting in a free floating gallbladder.…”

Gallbladder (GB) torsion is a rare surgical emergency seen in the elderly. It occurs due to the rotation of the gallbladder along the axis of the cystic artery and cystic duct. This study aimed to report a case of an acute GB torsion in an elderly female patient diagnosed by multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT). The clinical and imaging features of GB torsion, which can be used to assist in the preoperative diagnosis, were also discussed with emphasis on CT criteria.
