Isolated gangrenous gallbladder secondary to blunt trauma abdomen (BTA) is the rarest entity comes with great challenge due to low incidence. Gallbladder injury was reported to be between 1.9%-2.1% of all abdominal trauma, out of it, gall bladder rupture seen in <1%. Till date only one case report has been published. Clinical presentation of gallbladder injury is variable, resulting in a delay in diagnosis and treatment. This case report describes a significant mechanism of blunt force injury resulting in an isolated gangrenous gallbladder as it is a relatively well-protected organ; consequently, its gangrenous following blunt abdominal injury is rare and usually associated with other visceral injuries. Almost all gallbladder injuries following blunt trauma are associated with other significant intra-abdominal injuries and in the setting of acute trauma. We recommend an open procedure to facilitate a detailed exploration to exclude associated injuries. We report a case of a healthy 23years old adult male who sustained isolated gangrenous gallbladder following BTA who sustained injury following fall from riding a two wheeler motor cycle. We recommend an open cholecystectomy procedure to facilitate a detailed exploration to exclude associated injuries and has a good outcome.
