Volvulus of the gallbladder is one of the rarest conditions to affect the gallbladder, however, it should remain an important differential. Typically, it is diagnosed in elderly women, but it has also been reported in children and men. The lack of unique distinguishing features make diagnosis difficult to distinguish between other gallbladder pathology such as acute cholecystitis; however, delayed recognition or non-operative management is associated with higher mortality. We present the case of a 92-year-old woman who presented with this pathology, had diagnosis established preoperatively and was successfully treated with a cholecystectomy.
胆囊扭转是影响胆囊的最罕见病症之一，然而，它仍应作为一个重要的鉴别诊断。通常，它在老年女性中被诊断出来，但也有在儿童和男性中报道的情况。由于缺乏独特的鉴别特征，使得诊断难以与其他胆囊病变如急性胆囊炎区分开来；然而，延迟识别或非手术治疗与更高的死亡率相关。我们报告一例92岁女性患有这种病症的病例，术前确诊并成功接受了胆囊切除术。
