85-year-old female patient presented with right upper quadrant pain of one day duration, diagnosed with acalculous cholecystitis, and intraoperatively diagnosed with gallbladder volvulus.
85-year-old female patient presented with right upper quadrant pain of one day duration that is associated with nausea and vomiting, but no fever or jaundice. She was tachycardiac and had severe abdominal right upper quadrant tenderness with positive Murphy's sign. Laboratory results showed only increase in inflammatory markers. Both ultrasound and computed tomography scan of the abdomen were done and acalculous cholecystitis was diagnosed. Open cholecystectomy was done but gallbladder volvulus was noted intraoperatively. Cholecystectomy was done and the patient had smooth postoperative recovery.
