ABSTRACT
A woman in her 90s presented with loss of appetite, lower back pain, abdominal pain, and fever. Physical examination and subsequent blood tests indicated an inflammatory process, and computed tomography (CT) scans revealed gallbladder torsion with necrosis and abscess formation. The case involved successful management of this rare condition through percutaneous drainage without the need for surgical intervention, avoiding complications during follow-up. Remarkably, post-treatment CT showed complete resolution of the gallbladder abscess and the gallbladder itself was no longer visible. This case highlights the effectiveness of minimally invasive treatment for gallbladder torsion in elderly patients and underscores the potential for non-surgical intervention in managing complex abdominal conditions.
