{Abstract}: <B>UNASSIGNED: </B>Gallbladder perforations are infrequently encountered in the pediatric group but can be a cause of peritonitis with significant morbidity and mortality if not diagnosed and managed promptly.<BR><B>METHODS: </B>We present a case of a 10-year-old female who presented with peritonitis due to a perforated gallbladder diagnosed by CT-scan. She was managed surgically successfully.<BR><B>UNASSIGNED: </B>Gallbladder perforation due to cholecystitis is usually seen in the elderly population but is uncommon among the pediatric population. Mortality rate can be as high as 26 % hence early diagnosis is vital. Management is mostly surgical as seen in the index case.<BR><B>CONCLUSIONS: </B>Clinicians should keep gallbladder perforation in mind as a differential diagnosis of acute abdomen in children although uncommon.
