Abstract Gastric volvulus is a rare abnormal rotation of the stomach along its axis. It is a surgical emergency, hence requires prompt diagnosis and treatment to prevent life-threatening gangrenous changes. Hence, a high index of suspicion is required in any patients presenting with an acute abdomen in emergency. The entity can present acutely with pain abdomen and vomiting, or as chronic with non-specific symptoms. Chest X-ray findings to diagnose it may be overlooked in patients with acute abdomen. Here, we report three patients with gastric volvulus, where the diagnosis was based on the chest X-ray findings, confirmed with computed tomography, and managed successfully with surgery.

Gastric volvulus is a rare and life-threatening condition that involves the abnormal rotation of the stomach around its axis by more than 180°. The association between acute gastric volvulus and atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular response is rare with only few cases that have been reported. Our patient was an 86-year-old female who presented with upper abdominal pain, distension, nausea, and shortness of breath. Clinical and laboratory workup revealed acute gastric volvulus with diaphragmatic hernia. On presentation, she was also in atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular response. She was successfully treated by laparotomy with reduction of the gastric volvulus and repair of the diaphragmatic hernia, with significant improvement.

Ct Features

Acute gastric volvulus is a rare, but potentially life-threatening, cause of upper gastro-intestinal obstruction. The diagnosis can prove clinically challenging, and hence there is increased reliance on imaging. There are different types of gastric volvulus, with the variant presented in our case being the less commonly encountered mesenteroaxial gastric volvulus. Some of the CT features of gastric volvulus are described, and the usefulness of CT in assisting with the diagnosis is highlighted.

Gastric volvulus is nothing but the torsion of stomach in thoracic cavity by more than 1800 along its transverse or longitudinal axis. A very rare case occurring both in male and female. The term first described by Berti after doing an autopsy of a female, in 1886. We found a case of 65 years old male with history of dyspepsia since, 1 year with history of vomiting and pain abdomen since, 1 day. On evaluation, clinically gurgling sound heard on left side chest and with investigations like USG and CT whole abdomen, we came to know about mesentrico axial volvulus which is more common in children. Acute gastric volvulus cases have high mortality rate also requires emergency surgery. Gastric volvulus is very rare with variable and non-specific clinical presentations, hence high level of suspicion for radiologic diagnosis may require. Acute gastric volvulus is a potentially life-threatening occurrence with a good outcome when treated in a timely fashion. Chronic volvulus may be more difficult to recognize. Timely diagnosis with proper treatment can potentially decreases morbidity and mortality of the patient.

Severe Epigastric Pain

Acute gastric volvulus is a rare, life-threatening condition, but its intermittent nature and vague symptoms may make diagnosis difficult. Imaging is usually only diagnostic if carried out when patients are symptomatic. In the acute scenario, severe epigastric pain, retching with or without vomiting and difficulty or inability to pass nasogastric tube, constitute the Borchardt ’s triad that may be diagnostic. Herein, author reported a case that presented lately to the emergency department in shock with severe abdominal pain, abdominal distension and vomiting. Unfortunately, she died before surgery. Acute gastric volvulus is a surgical emergency requiring early diagnosis and aggressive management, as a delay results into complications like gangrene and perforation which substantially increase the morbidity and mortality in these patients.
