description Abstract A woman in her nineties presented with a 7-day history of right upper quadrant pain, nausea and anorexia. Examination findings included tenderness in the right upper quadrant and a positive Murphy’s sign. Laboratory studies were unremarkable with normal white cell count, C-reactive protein and liver functions tests. Ultrasound of the abdomen, however, demonstrated a distended gallbladder containing sludge and a thickened gallbladder wall. The patient’s symptoms worsened with associated elevation of inflammatory markers despite initial treatment with intravenous antibiotics for 24 h. It was decided to proceed to laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Intraoperatively, 360° clockwise torsion of a gangrenous gallbladder on an elongated mesentery was noted. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy was completed without complication and the patient was discharged home after completion of a course of intravenous antibiotics. Histopathological examination demonstrated acute cholecystitis with extensive mural necrosis.
