Female patient aged 84 years, Caucasian, with a history of blood hypertension, ischemic cardiopathy and vesicular lithiasis for 40 years. She went to the emergency room of the hospital because she felt abdominal pain in right hypochondrium and cholic for 3 days after having had an abundant meal. She also felt nauseas and shrivelling. The diagnosis was dark coloured, much distended gallbladder with abundant serohematic fluid around the bladder, leading to gallbladder volvulus. She underwent laparoscopic cholecistectomy and recovered satisfactorily.
