Overview
Presentation of gallbladder volvulus is very non -specific. It is tough to diagnose based upon just the history and symptoms because patients present with acute abdominal pain with or without vomiting. At times there may be a tender mobile mass palpated suggestive of a floating gallbladder.
History and Symptoms
Lau et al grouped clinical features into three triads:[1]
- Triad of patient characteristics
- Thin patient
- Old patient with chronic chest disease
- Patient with deformed spine
- Triad of symptoms
- Typical abdominal pain
- Early onset of vomiting
- A short history of symptoms
- Triad of physical signs
