She deteriorated within 24 h of admission despite intravenous antibiotics; Emergency laparoscopy was performed which showed the gallbladder malrotated 180 \u00b0 with features of necrosis.

Diagnosis is difficult clinically and radiologically, however, features such as \u201cwhirl sign\u201d and \u201ccystic duct knot sign\u201d have been described. Due to ischemia associated with torsion, clinical vigilance and early intervention is recommended to prevent potential fatal sequelae particularly in the elderly population.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Gallbladder torsion is a rare finding that can be difficult to diagnose clinically, we are hoping to promote awareness to prevent complications associated with delayed therapy.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Highlights<\/jats:title>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijscr.2018.03.041","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,4,3]],"date-time":"2018-04-03T14:46:00Z","timestamp":1522766760000},"page":"13-15","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Cholecystitis secondary to gallbladder torsion - A rare case report"],"prefix":"10.1097","volume":"46","author":[{"given":"Jason","family":"Cui","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mariya","family":"Abdullah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Iman","family":"Awan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Daniel","family":"Mehanna","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"R1-4-20260114","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"180","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijsu.2016.08.014","article-title":"The SCARE Statement: consensus-based surgical case report guidelines","volume":"34","author":"Agha","year":"2016","journal-title":"Int.
