Abstract

Gastric volvulus is usually associated with non-specific abdominal pain and is a very rare condition. Diagnosis of gastric volvulus is difficult because of the lack of specific findings. Its acute form usually requires urgent surgical treatment and is associated with high mortality. In this study, gastric volvulus was diagnosed in three patients who presented with abdominal pain in the emergency department and had non-specific abdominal findings on physical examination. We evaluated this situation, which is rarely seen, on different patients.

Özet

Gastrik volvulus genellikle non-spesifik karın ağrısı ile ilişkilidir ve çok nadir bir durumdur. Gastrik volvulus tanısı, spesifik bulguların eksikliği nedeniyle zordur. Akut formu genellikle acil cerrahi tedavi gerektirir ve yüksek mortalite ile ilişkilidir. Acil serviste abdominal ağrı ile başvuran ve fizik muayenede non-spesifik abdominal bulguları olan üç hastada gastrik volvulus tanısı kondu. Bu sunumda, nadir görülen bu klinik durumu farklı hastalarda değerlendirdik.
