It is very rare, especially in children. The clinical data of a child with floating gallbladder torsion who was treated in our hospital on March 14, 2024, were analyzed. A 6-year-old girl presented with abdominal pain and vomiting. Physical examination showed a mass in the right middle abdomen. Laboratory tests showed normal liver biochemical function and white blood cells. The benign lesion was considered by color Doppler ultrasound and CT, and the floating torsion of the gallbladder was diagnosed by MRCP and laparoscopic exploration. The child was treated with laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) and recovered well after the operation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fmed.2024.1407716","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,30]],"date-time":"2024-05-30T10:06:21Z","timestamp":1717063581000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Case report: Rare floating gallbladder torsion in a child"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Haiyang","family":"Ren","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hao","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiurui","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hua","family":"Wei","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ping","family":"Tian","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"588","DOI":"10.1186\/1752-1947-5-588","article-title":"A gallbladder torsion presenting as acute cholecystitis in an elderly woman: a case report","volume":"5","author":"Boer","year":"2011","journal-title":"J Med Case Rep"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"e1","DOI":"10.1016\/j.surg.2021.12.006","article-title":"Gallbladder volvulus","volume":"172","author":"Kerr","year":"2022","journal-title":"Surgery"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"rjad48","DOI":"10.1093\/jscr\/rjad048","article-title":"Gallbladder volvulus with preoperative and intraoperative imaging","volume":"2023","author":"Beatty","year":"2023","journal-title":"J Surg Case Rep"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"e23801","DOI":"10.7759\/cureus.23801","article-title":"Hybrid single-port cholecystectomy of a pediatric gallbladder volvulus","volume":"14","author":"Lemons","year":"2022","journal-title":"Cureus"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"e36256","DOI":"10.7759\/cureus.36256","article-title":"Gallbladder volvulus in an elderly female with severe kyphoscoliosis","volume":"15","author":"Sidhu","year":"2023","journal-title":"Cureus"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1194077","DOI":"10.1155\/2023\/1194077","article-title":"Intraoperative diagnosis of gallbladder volvulus","volume":"2023","author":"Mohamed","year":"2023","journal-title":"Case Rep Surg"},{"key":"ref7","first-page":"199","article-title":"VI.
