Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Gallbladder torsion is an uncommon surgical emergency.
  • It often presents with non-specific symptoms, mimicking other acute abdominal conditions.

Observation:

  • Two cases of gallbladder torsion were diagnosed intraoperatively.
  • Both patients presented with acute abdominal pain of unknown origin.

Findings:

  • Intraoperative diagnosis is crucial for timely intervention.
  • Cholecystectomy is the standard treatment for gallbladder torsion.

Implications:

  • Increased clinical suspicion is warranted in elderly women with unexplained acute abdominal pain.
  • Early surgical management of gallbladder torsion ensures a favorable patient outcome.
