Torsion of the gallbladder. A case report.
A case of torsion of the gallbladder with gangrene in a 75-year-old woman is described. The diagnosis was established at laparotomy. The clinical features were suggestive of intestinal obstruction, while abdominal radiographs aroused suspicion of appendicitis and appendicular abscess; difficulty in preoperative diagnosis is emphasized.
