Herniated Gallbladder Following a Bull Run: A Case Report

The liver is the most common organ injury associated with blunt trauma. Blunt hepatic trauma, due to the high kinetic impact on the liver, causes compression and parenchymal disruption, leading to tears in its vascular structures. By contrast, gallbladder injury is rare because it is located beneath and shielded by the liver. This report concerns a case where hepatic and abdominal wall tearing following blunt trauma led to gallbladder herniation.

Abstract

The liver is the most common organ injury associated with blunt trauma. Blunt hepatic trauma, due to the high kinetic impact on the liver, causes compression and parenchymal disruption, leading to tears in its vascular structures. By contrast, gallbladder injury is rare because it is located beneath and shielded by the liver. This report concerns a case where hepatic and abdominal wall tearing following blunt trauma led to gallbladder herniation.
