摘要

Background

Blunt abdominal trauma leading to gallbladder injury is rare and presents a diagnostic challenge. Here, we present scenario of gallbladder perforation due a blow from a fist to the abdomen.

Case presentation

A 30-years old male patient was admitted to University of Gondar comprehensive specialized hospital emergency department in Ethiopia due to blow from a fist on the right upper abdomen with a presumptive diagnosis of generalized peritonitis and underwent emergency laparotomy. The operative finding showed that, gallbladder was perforated at the fundus and a cholecystectomy was done. Postoperative time was uneventful and discharged on the 5th postoperative day.

Conclusion

Isolated gallbladder injury from a fist fight is rare, however, should be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients presenting with abdominal pain following minor blunt abdominal trauma.
