Description
Summary:Acute gastric volvulus, a rare and life-threatening condition, often presents diagnostic challenges due to atypical symptoms. We report a unique case of nonincarcerated organo-axial gastric volvulus within a para-esophageal hiatus hernia in a 38-year-old male. Diagnosis relied on imaging, emphasizing the crucial role of CT scans. Successful open surgical intervention addressed the complexity, highlighting the evolving understanding and tailored approaches in managing this uncommon condition, essential for improved outcomes and reduced morbidity and mortality.
