An observation is presented concerning a volvulus of the gallbladder, a rare cause of acute abdomen. This affection is mostly encountered in aged people or in those with various background diseases, and its development is favoured by the presence of congenital malformations, visceral ptoses, or by exaggerated intestinal peristaltism. The preoperative diagnosis is only exceptional and indications for surgical intervention are made on the basis of signs suggesting peritoneal irritation, or the presence of a "tumor" in the right flank. Cholecystectomy, facial in most of the cases is followed by full recovery in all the cases when the intervention is performed at an early stage.
