          Translated abstract

          ABSTRACT A 90-years-old man comes to the emergency department with diffuse abdominal pain and fever three days. On physical examination, the abdomen is soft and depressible with air-fluid sound present and bilateral reductible inguinal hernias. A mass is palpated at the level of the roght hypochondrium with a positive Murphy´s sign whitout signs of peritoneal irritation. An abdominal CT with intravenous contrast is requested due to the suspicion of acute abdominal pathology, observing cholelithiasis and a markedly distended gallbladder with torsion.

          Expect the Unexpected: Torsion of the Gallbladder, a Rare Cause for Acute Cholecystitis

          Gallbladder torsion is a rare cause for acute cholecystitis. Gallbladder torsion is unlikely to respond to conservative management and requires urgent surgical intervention. We report a case of an 85-year-old female with gallbladder torsion. She presented with a clinical picture consistent with acute cholecystitis. Radiological findings showed signs that elude to the diagnosis and intra-operative findings showed a complete torsion with a free-floating gallbladder. This case highlights the need to have a high index of suspicion for gallbladder torsion as a differential diagnosis for right upper quadrant (RUQ) pain apart from the typical calculous acute cholecystitis, especially in high risk groups such as thin, elderly females. Prompt decision for cholecystectomy is necessary and is likely to result in a good outcome.
