Gallbladder volvulus is a rare condition diagnosed preoperatively using ultrasound, showing a "floating gallbladder." Emergency gallbladder removal is the recommended treatment for this critical diagnosis.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Pathology
  • Diagnostic Imaging

Background:

  • Gallbladder volvulus is an uncommon surgical emergency.
  • Prompt diagnosis and surgical intervention are crucial for favorable outcomes.

Observation:

  • This report details two cases of gallbladder volvulus.
  • Preoperative diagnosis is often achievable.

Findings:

  • Key ultrasonographic findings include a "floating gallbladder" appearance.
  • Characteristic ultrasound features involve thickened, hypoechoic gallbladder walls.

Implications:

  • Accurate preoperative diagnosis using specific ultrasound markers can expedite treatment.
  • Emergency cholecystectomy remains the definitive management for gallbladder volvulus.
