Pediatric gastric volvulus is a rare surgical emergency. This case highlights a six-year-old girl with gastric volvulus requiring two laparotomies for treatment and complication management.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Gastrointestinal Surgery
  • Surgical Emergencies

Background:

  • Gastric volvulus is a rare condition characterized by abnormal stomach rotation.
  • It represents a surgical emergency, particularly in the pediatric population.
  • Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial for favorable outcomes.

Observation:

  • A six-year-old female presented with upper abdominal distention and nausea.
  • Physical examination revealed abdominal distention, tenderness, and absent bowel sounds.
  • The patient required immediate surgical intervention.

Findings:

  • Laparotomy revealed gastric volvulus with occlusive vascular compromise.
  • The condition necessitated emergency surgical correction.

  • Postoperative adhesions led to a second laparotomy for small bowel obstruction.

    • Implications:

    • This case underscores the importance of recognizing gastric volvulus in pediatric patients presenting with acute abdominal symptoms.
    • Prompt surgical management is vital to prevent ischemic injury and complications.
    • Awareness of potential postoperative complications like adhesions is essential for comprehensive patient care.
