Niger J Clin Pract 2013;16(3):398-400.10.4103/1119-3077.113474https://repository.nileuniversity.edu.ng/handle/123456789/539The gallbladder is a relatively well-protected organ; consequently its rupture following blunt abdominal injury is rare and usually associated with other visceral injuries. Isolated gallbladder rupture is extremely rare. We report a healthy Nigerian adult male who sustained isolated gallbladder rupture following blunt abdominal injury from riding a motor cycle (Okada). A high index of suspicion with positive bile aspirate might lead to early diagnosis. Open cholecystectomy is a safe option of treatment in a resource poor centre especially in delayed presentation and has a good outcome.enBlunt abdominal traumagallbladder ruptureisolatedArticle
