Gallbladder (GB) torsion is a rare surgical emergency. Characteristic imaging findings, particularly from MRI, can aid in preoperative diagnosis, guiding timely cholecystectomy.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Radiology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Gallbladder (GB) torsion is an uncommon cause of acute abdominal pain requiring surgical intervention.
  • Preoperative diagnosis of GB torsion remains challenging despite advancements in medical imaging.
  • Cholecystectomy is the definitive treatment for GB torsion.

Observation:

  • This report details a case of GB torsion, emphasizing a retrospective analysis of radiologic findings.
  • Imaging modalities reviewed include magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), and ultrasonography.
  • Radiologic findings were correlated with histopathologic results from the surgical specimen.

Findings:

  • The radiologic findings in this case proved valuable for preoperative diagnosis of GB torsion.

  • Specific characteristic MRI findings associated with GB torsion are postulated.
  • Discrepancies in evaluating the GB wall across different imaging techniques were observed.

    • Implications:

    • Accurate preoperative diagnosis of GB torsion can be achieved through careful interpretation of radiologic findings.
    • Characteristic MRI features may improve diagnostic accuracy for GB torsion.
    • Understanding imaging discrepancies is crucial for surgical planning and patient management.
