Abstract
Volvulus of the gallbladder is among infrequent diseases ranked among acute abdomen conditions. The disease presents with acute biliary ailments, often reminiscent of acute cholecystitis. It is more common in frail elderly women. Its preoperative diagnosis is complicated; therefore, this finding is intraoperatively encountered in most cases. In our case report, we present the case of a female patient where the volvulus of the gallbladder was found as a surprising discovery during surgery. Gallbladder volvulus is a rare disease that presents as acute abdomen. It is most often diagnosed intraoperatively. Cholecystectomy is the most appropriate therapeutic method for this condition.
