Gastric volvulus is an uncommon clinical entity. There are three types of gastric volvulus; organoaxial, mesenteroaxial and combined type. This condition can lead to a closed-loop obstruction or strangulation. Traditional surgical therapy for gastric volvulus is based on an open approach. Here we report a successful case of a patient with chronic gastric volvulus with a laparoscopic treatment. A 79-year-old woman came to the emergency department with epigastric pain accompanied by nausea for 2 weeks. Abdominal computed tomography revealed markedly distended stomach with transposition of gastroesophageal Junction and gastric antrum. Barium meal study revealed presence of the antrum was folded over 180 degrees that was located above gastroesophageal junction. We attempted an endoscopic reduction, but it was unsuccessful. The patient got laparoscopic anterior gastropexy. Based on our result, laparoscopic gastropexy can be considered as a good choice of the treatment for gastric volvulus.

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.

The purpose of this report is to describe the radiographic patterns of canine gastric dilatation-volvulus syndrome derived from a case. Radiographs showed the presence of a large amount of gas, fluid and ingesta within the stomach. The gas-filled pyloric antrum was present in the left cranial abdomen in the ventrodorsal view, and located dorsal and slightly cranial to the gas-filled fundus of the stomach in the right lateral recumbent and standing lateral view. On the right lateral recumbent view, the gas-filled stomach was compartmentalized by a soft-tissue dense band caused by the pyloric antral wall folding back and contacting the fundic wall. It was thought that the gastric volvulus in this case occurred In a clock. wise direction by radiographic findings.

Acute gastric volvulus is one of the most fatal complications of the eventration of diaphragm and require emergency surgical treatment unless it is possible to pass a nasogatric tube. This 10 year old female patient was admitted because of severe abdominal pain and marked abdominal distention before about 3 days. On chest P-A and plain abdomen, there were the elevation of the left hemidiaphragm and marked dilatation of stomach and the triad of symptoms emphasized by Bochdalek in 1904 was present. Emergency operation [wedge resection of necrotic area of stomach and gastropexy after gastric decompression and plication of diaphragm] was performed. The type of gastric volvulus was organo-axial rotation, in which the stomach rotated around the line that connects the cardia with the pylorus [Fig. 4].

Four dogs were presented with the history of progressive abdominal distension and regurgitation. Survey abdominal radiographs revealed gastric dilatation-volvulus (GDV) with a distended, gas-filled stomach and double bubbles. The mean time from onset of clinical signs to presentation to a clinic was 3.25 hours. In three dogs, orogastric tubes were inserted and their stomachs were decompressed. However, we failed to insert the tube in the remaining one dog. Among these four dogs, gastrotomy was performed in two dogs to remove the gastric contents and to decompress the stomach additionally during surgery. The dogs with GDV were treated with belt-loop gastropexy (n=3) or circumcostal gastropexy (n=1) to prevent recurrence. Necrosis of gastric or splenic tissues was not observed during surgical intervention. All four dogs recovered uneventfully, and no recurrence was found in long term follow-up during $1{\sim}3$ years.

Intestinal malrotation with midgut volvulus (MV) is a life-threatening surgical emergency. Most events of MV occur in the neonatal period with bilious vomiting, abdominal distension, feeding intolerance, and bloody stools. Neonatal gastric perforation (GP) is a rare and life-threatening condition associated with high mortality. It occurs either in an idiopathic form or in association with gastrointestinal anomalies such as duodenal atresia and MV. The pathogenesis of both MV and GP is related to ischemic change and inflammatory response. MV and GP can lead to morbidities such as sepsis, intestinal ischemia, and organ failure, but not neurologic problems. We herein report the case of a term infant at 5 days after birth, with MV accompanied by GP, who developed periventricular leukomalacia.

Gastric volvulus (GV) is an uncommon pathology, with 10-20% of cases occurring in children, typically before one year of age. It often occurs in people with congenital diaphragmatic hernias, intestinal malrotation, eventration of the diaphragm, paraesophageal hernias, wandering spleens, asplenism, or intra-abdominal adhesions. We report a rare case of chronic GV after left hemihepatectomy for hepatoblastoma in a child. The patient was a 9-year-old boy who complained of upper abdominal pain and postprandial upper abdominal distension for one year. At the age of 4 months, he was diagnosed with hepatoblastoma and had undergone left hemihepatectomy. The upper gastrointestinal contrast study revealed chronic organoaxial gastric volvulus. After a surgical procedure involving adhesiolysis and an anterior wall gastropexy, the patient improved and the symptoms resolved. Although GV is a rare disease, it should be suspected in a patient with a previous abdominal surgical history who is complaining of abdominal distension and pain.

위확대염전 (gastric dilatation and volvulus; GDV)는 위급하고 생명을 위협하는 질병으로 보통 대형견에서 호발한다. 하지만 17살 Shih-tzu (4 kg, 중성화 암컷)가 급성 위확대염전으로 응급내원한 경우가 있었다. 내원했을 당시 지속적인 헛구역질, 무기력, 그리고 과도하게 확장된 복부가 관찰되었다. 신체검사상 환자는 저체온증 ($36.5^{\circ}C$), 심박수 항진 (240 bpm), 느려진 모세혈관 재충만 시간 (> 2초)였고 점막은 창백한 색이었다. 폐음은 정상적이었지만 3단계의 murmur를 청진상 확인하였다. 복부타진을 통해서 복부 양쪽으로 공명하는 부위의 존재가 확인되었다. 수축기혈압은 220에서 시작해서 40 mmHg까지 4시간동안 점진적으로 감소하였다. 혈액검사상, blood urea nitrogen (BUN; 29.1 mg/dl)과creatinine (1.6 mg/dl)의 값을 토대로 미약한 질소혈증 상태였다. 혈중 젖산 농도는 (8.13 mmol/l)로 심각하게 증가해있었다. 추가적인 방사선 검사를 통해서 위확대염전을 확인하였다. 위내 압력을 줄이기 위해, 위천공과 비위삽관을 통한 기체와 액체 제거를 실시하는 동안 보조적으로 산소, 열, 수액, 그리고 약물들을 처치하였다. 또한 dobutamine의 정맥내투여에도 불구하고 수축기혈압이 일정하게 유지되지 않았고, 이에 따라 혼수상태에 빠지고 말았다. 환자의 나이와 복지를 고려하여 안락사가 결정되어 생을 마감하였다. 이번 경우는 최종적으로 위확대염전으로 진단되었으며, 이는 Shih-tzu와 같은 소형견에서 보고되는 첫 위확대염전 case라는 점에서 의의가 있다.
