Abstract

Gastric volvulus is a rare but life-threatening cause ofupper gastrointestinal obstruction. About one-third ofreported cases occur with acute onset and there is nospecific laboratory or clinical findings. It can causeserious complications like gastric ischemia, necrosisor perforation; if occurs, rapid recognition and promptsurgical intervention are required. Mesenteroaxialform contains 29% of all cases and results in gastricischemia more than other types. Here, we present a 46year-old female patient with acute mesenteroaxialgastric volvulus. If gastric volvulus is one of thedifferential diagnoses, imaging studies becomeimportant. Computed tomography (CT) should bepreferred as the first method of imaging for promptdiagnosis and surgical intervention because it enablesmultiplanar demonstration as well as providingvaluable information about possible etiologies,complications and predisposing factors

Özet

Gastrikobstrüksiyonunun nadir bir nedenidir. Vakaların yaklaşıküçte biri akut başlangıçlı olup tanıya spesifik birlaboratuvar bulgusu ya da klinik bulgu mevcut değildir.Gastrik iskemi, nekroz ya da perforasyon gibi ciddikomplikasyonlara sebebiyet verebileceğinden gastrikvolvulus oluşması halinde hızlı tanı ve acil cerrahimüdahale gereklidir. Mezenteroaksiyel form vakaların %29'unu oluşturmaktadır. Diğer alt tiplere göremezenteroaksiyel volvulusta gastrik iskemi daha sıkgelişir. Eğer gastrik volvulus akla gelen bir ön tanı isegörüntülemeMultiplanarkomplikasyonlar, etiyolojik sebepler ya da predispozanfaktörler hakkında kıymetli bilgiler vermesi açılarındanbilgisayarlı tomografi (BT) hızlı tanı ve acil cerrahigirişim için ilk tercih edilmesi gereken görüntülememetodu olmalıdır
