Abdom Imaging. 2000 May-Jun;25(3):269-71. doi: 10.1007/s002610000031.

Abstract

A rare case of torsion of the gallbladder fundus, which was diagnosed by ultrasound and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and released during ERCP, is presented. The case illustrates the sonographic and ERCP findings of this rare condition and suggests using ERCP as a therapeutic tool.
