Abstract

Gastric volvulus is a rare surgical disorder in the pediatric population. We experienced a case of gastric volvulus. A 2-year-old boy was admitted to hospital with abdominal distension. An upper gastrointestinal series showed reversal of the greater and lesser curvatures. Surgical exploration revealed an organoaxial volvulus of the stomach, and anterior gastropexy was performed.
