title: Acute cholecystitis due to strangulation of a floating gallbladder by the lesser omentum.
abstract: We report a unique case of acute cholecystitis due to strangulation of a floating gallbladder by the lesser omentum, which could be detected by abdominal ultrasonography. We believe this case to be the first case of reported literatures in English.
