Gastric volvulus is a rare complication of diaphragmatic rupture. We report the case of an 82-year-old man who presented following an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Chest radiography and thoracic computed tomography revealed an acute gastric volvulus and a chronic diaphragmatic hernia containing transverse colon and abdominal viscera. He had complained of retching and associated epigastric pain prior to collapse, and had sustained a motorcycle accident approximately 60 years earlier. Insertion of a nasogastric tube was unsuccessful (completing Borchardt’s diagnostic triad) and his condition prevented both operative and endoscopic reduction of his volvulus. He died soon afterwards.

The purpose of this article is to illustrate the various manifestations that can be encountered on thoracic computed tomography of tuberous sclerosis in adults. The pulmonary findings include lymphangioleiomyomatosis and multifocal micronodular pneumocyte hyperplasia. The extrapulmonary manifestations are divided into cardiac, vascular, mediastinal, osseous, and upper abdominal findings.
