Abstract

Gastric volvulus can either present as an acute or chronic symptoms according to the degree of gastric rotation and subsequent obstruction. The diagnosis of gastric volvulus is often difficult and is mainly based on imaging studies. We describe a case of mesenteroaxial gastric volvulus associated with paraesophageal hernia, well demonstrated on upper gastrointestinal (UGI) series and coronal reconstructed CT image.
