Acute gastric volvulus with total gastric necrosis and ischemia of the spleen and kidney

Abstract

Abstract We report a case of a 6-year-old female with acute gastric volvulus with total gastric necrosis and ischemia of the surrounding organs. Congestion necrosis occurs because of strangulation. It is considered that this case was caused by elevated intragastric pressure with marked stomach dilation. Thus, rapid decompression was essential.
