For this exceptionnel case seeing the young age of the child, the litterature is reviewed. This disease is seldom diagnosed before the operation but in case of acute abdominal syndrome with palpable tumor in the right subribs area, the diagnosis of gallbladder torsion can be considered. The pronostic is excellent because the quite easy gallbladder oblation brings a quick recovery without after effects.
