Abstract

Torsion of the gallbladder in an 8-year-old boy, which was precipitated by blunt abdominal trauma from a ball-strike during a soccer game, is reported. Of the 13 reported childhood cases of gallbladder torsion, this is the first to be precipitated by blunt abdominal trauma in the presence of congenital anatomic predilection.
