    AbstractTraumatic rupture of the gallbladder is a very rare event associated with high mortality. Since clinical symptoms are nonspecific, diagnosis is difficult.

This case demonstrates, that the combination of patients history, clinical investigation and ultrasound allows the diagnosis of traumatic rupture of the gallbladder.
