title: [Acute torsion of the gallbladder--case report].
abstract: Torsion of gallbladder is simply defined as a rotation of the gallbladder on its mesentery along the axis of the cystic duct and the cystic artery. It is rare disease which etiology it's still unknown. However we can point some factors postulated as playing causative roles. This disease symptoms mimic acute cholecystitis. In spite of advanced radiological imaging technics there are still problems to set up correct preoperative diagnosis of gallbladder torsion.
