Gastric volvulus: An uncommon and life threatening cause of acute gastric dilatation in a young male: A case report

Abstract: Gastric volvulus leading to acute gastric dilatation is a surgical emergency that should be considered as a differential in patients who present to the emergency department with severe epigastric pain and evidence of gastric outlet obstruction. This condition requires a high index of suspicion that enables early diagnosis and treatment.

“…El vólvulo primario se debe a anomalías de los ligamentos gástricos; mientras que el vólvulo secundario se debe a anormalidades anatómicas como hernias diafragmáticas, hernias paraesofágicas, eventraciones diafragmáticas, entre otras (4). La rotación organoaxial se refiere al giro del estómago alrededor de un eje longitudinal que une el píloro con la unión gastroesofágica, es la más frecuente y representa el 59% de los casos; la rotación mesenteroaxial representa el 29% de los casos, siendo la rotación alrededor de un eje transversal; mientras que la mixta es una combinación de la rotación organoaxial y mesenteroaxial (5,6).…”

“…Acute gastric dilatation, a rare condition, is the radiological finding of a massively dilated stomach seen on an X-ray or Computed Tomography (CT) scan of the abdomen ( 1 ). It can occur following trauma, infection, electrolyte disturbances, diabetes mellitus, eating disorders, and other conditions that cause gastric outflow tract obstruction or gastroparesis ( 1 , 2 ). Gastric volvulus, an uncommon but deadly surgical emergency, is another cause of acute gastric dilatation.…”

“…Gastric volvulus, an uncommon but deadly surgical emergency, is another cause of acute gastric dilatation. Due to the rarity of this condition, a high index of suspicion is required for the much-needed prompt treatment ( 2 ). We present a rare case of an infant with acute gastric dilatation due to acute gastric volvulus secondary to congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH).…”
