A 19 year old youth presented with acute right upper quadrant abdominal pain following a midair collision while playing soccer. At laparotomy extraperitoneal biliary extravasation was found secondary to subserosal perforation of the gall bladder. Isolated gallbladder injury is uncommon following blunt abdominal trauma and this particular injury is rare.
