| Core Tip |
Torsion of the gallbladder is a rare condition and is very difficult to diagnose preoperatively, despite advances in diagnostic imaging. This diagnosis should be considered in all elderly patients presenting with acute or non-resolving symptoms and signs suggestive of cholecystitis, particularly in the absence of gallstones. Early diagnostic imaging and prompt cholecystectomy are crucial. In this case of gross type 1 floating gallbladder, T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging showed an intra-gallbladder segment located between the body and neck of the gallbladder. Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography indicated V-shaped distortion of the extrahepatic bile duct and a tapered cyst duct. |
