An unusual case of blunt abdominal trauma: A bleeding and ruptured gall-bladder managed by laparoscopy.

An isolated gall-bladder injury after blunt abdominal trauma is rare. Intraluminal bleeding with a perforation and an intra-abdominal haemorrhage is even rarer. Early diagnosis is difficult, even with a CT-scan or an US-scan available. Clinical suspicion, serial clinical examination and repeated imaging, can prevent mortality and morbidity. We present a case where laparoscopy was used to diagnose and treat an isolated gall-bladder lesion after blunt abdominal trauma.
