Gallbladder volvulus: a case report.
Gallbladder volvulus, a rare disease generally affecting older aged women, is generally due to an abnormal anatomical fixation of the gallbladder. As clinical and radiological signs are poor the diagnosis is generally made at laparotomy. The prognosis is excellent when early surgical treatment is performed.
