Gall bladder injuries which are caused after a blunt trauma in the abdomen are rare and they have significant mortality and morbidity when the treatment is delayed. They usually go undiagnosed until an exploratory laparotomy is done. We are reporting here a case of isolated gall bladder neck perforation, which is an uncommon finding following a blunt injury in the abdomen.
