Gallbadder volvulus.
A 50 years old man was admitted to Wolayita Soddo Hospital, southern Ethiopia, with the complaints of sudden onset right upper quadrant pain with repeated vomiting. Physical examination was remarkable for a dehydration and abdominal tenderness. The patient showed no improvement on conservative treatment and hence underwent laparotomy. The intraoperative finding was a gallbladder volvulus and cholecystectomy was uneventful.
