Acute gastric volvulus is an uncommon entity that requires prompt diagnosis and management to prevent potential life threatening complications. We present a rare case of splenic laceration secondary to acute gastric volvulus.

Gastric volvulus is an uncommon clinical entity seen in both adults and pediatric patients. It occurs when the stomach is rotated atleast 180 degrees along its longitudinal or transverse axes. Gastric volvulus may present acutely or may present with intermittent, recurrent and chronic symptoms. In acute presentation, there is risk of strangulation of stomach leading to necrosis , perforation and shock. Hence, prompt diagnosis and treatment of acute gastric volvulus helps to decrease morbidity and mortality. We encountered a case of a 20 year old male patient who presented to the emergency department with acute onset of abdominal pain and distension. Following Contrast Enhanced Computed Tomography and upper GI endoscopy a diagnosis of acute strangulated gastric volvulus with eventeration of left hemidiaphragm was made and patient was posted for emergency laparotomy. Intraoperative ndings included mesenteroaxial volvulus of the stomach with transmural necrosis of the fundus and proximal part of body of stomach along the greater curvature with eventeration of left hemidiaphragm and superior displacement of spleen with infarct of lower part of spleen

Gastric volvulus is a rare complication of diaphragmatic rupture. We report the case of an 82-year-old man who presented following an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Chest radiography and thoracic computed tomography revealed an acute gastric volvulus and a chronic diaphragmatic hernia containing transverse colon and abdominal viscera. He had complained of retching and associated epigastric pain prior to collapse, and had sustained a motorcycle accident approximately 60 years earlier. Insertion of a nasogastric tube was unsuccessful (completing Borchardt’s diagnostic triad) and his condition prevented both operative and endoscopic reduction of his volvulus. He died soon afterwards.
