A case of volvulus of the gallbladder

Abstract

Gallbladder volvulus is very rare. In 1955 N. V. Bobrova reported 26 cases, according to the literature, and one personal observation. In 1957, 3 observations of A. G. Etz and V. A. Grigorieva were published. The diagnosis of this disease is extremely difficult. Most often, volvulus of the gallbladder is mistaken for acute intestinal obstruction or an attack of gallstone disease. A sudden onset, sharp pains, repeated vomiting, the severity of the condition are usually found in each of these diseases. The observation below was also mistaken for acute intestinal obstruction.
