BACKGROUND: Gallbladder torsion is a rare acute abdominal condition that requires emergency surgery. It occurs more commonly in elderly people and in women in the adult population. Diagnosis is a challenge as non-specific symptoms and signs have been reported on ultrasonography, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. Prompt cholecystectomy can decrease the mortality and morbidity of perforation due to gallbladder torsion.
CASE SUMMARY: An 82-year-old woman with upper-right quadrant pain and associated nausea and vomiting was diagnosed with ectopic acute calculus cholecystitis. Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) showed a V-shaped distortion of the extrahepatic bile ducts and a particularly extended twisted cystic duct, which indicated the presence of gallbladder torsion. Emergency laparoscopic cholecystectomy confirmed the diagnosis and the patient recovered without incident.
CONCLUSION: Gallbladder torsion can be diagnosed pre-operatively by MRCP. The specific signs are a V-shaped distortion of the extrahepatic bile ducts and a particularly extended twisted cystic duct which can be called twisting signs.
