ABSTRACT

The case report of a 94 years elderly with history of gallbladder lithiasis is presented. She went to “Dr. Juan Bruno Zayas Alfonso” Teaching General Hospital due to an abdominal pain with a course of few hours along with some billiary vomits and sensation of occasional shivering. A round tumour of about 6 cms was found in the abdominal test, almost at the level of the right side. She was operated as an emergency and gallbladder was found gangrenous due to a total volvulus of the organ. A conventional cholecystectomy was carried out and the patient had a favorable clinical course.
