AB - Gallbladder lesions due to blunt abdominal injury are rare, being found in only about 2% of patients who 
undergo laparotomy for abdominal trauma. It is commonly associated with other concomitant visceral 
injuries. It is challenging to make an early diagnosis. We report the case of a 35-year-old woman victim of 
a public road accident who underwent laparotomic cholecystectomy. Acute post traumatic cholecystitis was 
suspected based on clinical and radiologic data. Perioperative findings showed no ascites, but a distended 
gallbladder. Its serosa was intact. After its removal, we opened the gallbladder, we discovered a rupture of 
the mucosa and bile trapped between the mucosa and the serosa of the gallbladder. The postoperative course 
was simple.
