Gallbladder torsion with Meckel's diverticulum is rare in children. Surgical correction led to a full recovery, highlighting the importance of exploring for other anomalies during surgery.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Gastrointestinal Surgery
  • Developmental Anomalies

Background:

  • Gallbladder torsion is a rare surgical emergency, particularly in pediatric patients.
  • Meckel's diverticulum is the most common congenital anomaly of the small intestine.
  • Concurrent presentation of gallbladder torsion and Meckel's diverticulum is exceptionally infrequent.

Observation:

  • A 3-year-old girl presented with symptoms suggestive of acute abdominal pathology.
  • Diagnostic workup revealed gallbladder torsion and an incidental finding of Meckel's diverticulum.
  • The patient underwent surgical intervention for both conditions.

Findings:

  • Successful detorquation of the gallbladder, cholecystectomy, and resection of the Meckel's diverticulum were performed.

  • The patient experienced an uncomplicated postoperative recovery.
  • Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnoses.

    • Implications:

    • This case underscores the importance of considering rare diagnoses in pediatric surgical emergencies.
    • Intraoperative exploration for associated congenital anomalies is recommended when encountering gallbladder torsion.
    • Prompt surgical management ensures favorable outcomes in such complex pediatric cases.
