The anatomopathologic examination confirmed the diagnosis of acute gangrenous cholecystitis. Gallbladder volvulus is a non-frequent cause of acute cholecystitis. \section[{I.}]{I.}\par Case Report 85 year-old woman was admitted for a right upper abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting without abdominal surgery or trauma, laboratory analysis revealed hyperleucocytosis with normal liver function tests. The echography revealed thick-walled gallbladder without cholelithiasis and a common bile duct dilatation of 10 mm. Right upper quadrant tenderness and positive Murphy's sign were detected on physical examination. On surgical exploration through a right subcostal incision, there was a 100 ml of serohemorrhagic exudate with complete torsion of the gallbladder along the axis of the cystic duct (figure1), the cystic duct was so long which measured 6 cm, it is cut at a distance of 1 cm of the c ommon bile duct, introperativecholangiography was normal (figure2), standard open choecystectomy was performed. Bile culture was positive for Echerchia Coli, therefore; antibiotheraby was adapted. Her p ostoperative c ourse was uneventful, and she was discharged on the3 rd postoperative day. \section[{Discussion}]{Discussion}\par Gallbladder volvulus is defined as torsion of the gallbladder around its artery and duct in case of a long and flask mesentery \hyperref[b0]{(1)}. After the first case published by Wendel in 1898(2), about 500 cases have been documented\par -old patients \hyperref[b2]{(3,}\hyperref[b3]{4)}. Gallbladder torsion occurs most often in elderly patients \hyperref[b4]{(5,}\hyperref[b5]{6,}\hyperref[b6]{7)}, but several cases were rep orted in children \hyperref[b7]{(8,}\hyperref[b8]{9)}. The one presented here was a surprise intraoperative diagnosi s because of the presumed gallbladder volvulus commonly presents as acute cholecystitis and is rarely diagnosed preoperatively. This condition should be always suspected when making the patients especially in women. Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) i s very useful in making preoperative definitive diagnosis of gallbladder torsion \hyperref[b9]{(10)}. Gallbladder torsion was reported in pregnancy \hyperref[b10]{(11)}. Gallbladder volvulus should be thought suitable medical treatment. Delayed diagnosis can lead to dangerous c omplication such as necrosis and perforation of the gallbladder with a generalized peritonitis,consequently;mortality is increased especially in elderly patients who have often other comorbidities \hyperref[b4]{(5)}. laparoscopic detorsion and removal of gallbladder is the treatment of choice for gallbladder volvulus \hyperref[b3]{(4,}\hyperref[b11]{12)}. \section[{III.}]{III.} \section[{Conclusion}]{Conclusion}\par Gallbladder volvulus is a rare cause of acute abdomen which i s rarely diagnosed before surgery. It should be added to the differential diagnosis of acute cholecystitis that does not improve after medical treatment especially in elderly women. Early diagnosis and urgent cholecystectomy in necessary for optimal prognosis.\par Volume XIV Issue V Version I Year ( )\begin{figure}[htbp] \noindent\textbf{}\includegraphics[]{image-2.png} \caption{\label{fig_0}}\end{figure} \begin{figure}[htbp] \noindent\textbf{1}\includegraphics[]{image-3.png} \caption{\label{fig_1}Figure 1 :}\end{figure} \begin{figure}[htbp] \noindent\textbf{2}\includegraphics[]{image-4.png} \caption{\label{fig_2}Figure 2 :}\end{figure} \backmatter \begin{bibitemlist}{1} \bibitem[Wendel ()]{b1}\label{b1} ‘A case of floating gallbladder and kidney complicated by cholelithiasis with perforation of the gallbladder’.
