Successful Endoscopic Management of Gastric Volvulus: A Case Report Highlighting Effective Treatment Strategies
None:
Gastric volvulus is a rare entity which lacks evidence in the literature, characterized by the abnormal twisting or rotation of the stomach on itself of at least 180 degrees along its transverse or longitudinal axis. This rotation can lead to the obstruction of the stomach and interfere with its blood supply, causing a variety of symptoms and potentially serious complications. Some patients may be managed temporarily or definitively with conservative or endoscopic treatment, the latest including reduction and percutaneous gastropexy, but most patients benefit from surgery. The authors report three cases of gastric volvulus seen in a six-months period.
