A rare case of total volvulus of the gallbladder observed intraoperatively and treated by cleansing and cholecystectomy in a 96-year-old woman undergoing surgery for acute lithiasic cholecystitis is described. More than the clinical and laboratory data (insignificant considering the patient's anergic and debilitated condition) it was the results of hepatobiliary ultrasonography which revealed acute, rapidly progressing inflammation of the gallbladder that supplied the indication for immediate surgery.
