Abstract
KREPLAK, Mariano; ZAMBONI, Marcelo and QUENARD, Lucrecia. Gallbladder volvulus with cholecystitis: Case report. Rev. argent. radiol. [online]. 2009, vol.73, n.4, pp.437-438. ISSN 1852-9992.
We report on a 62-year-old female patient who presented with an acute abdomen developed shortly before her visit. CT scan revealed infraumbilical oblong mass, fluid content and thick walls (3-5 mm), with calcium images. The image was interpreted as intestinal volvulus or peritoneal cystic tumor. The surgical diagnosis was gallbladder volvulus, an uncommon entity, which is difficult to diagnose preoperatively.
