A Case of Gastric Mesenteroaxial Volvulus Corrected by Endoscopy

Abstract

A male patient in his 80s was refferd to our hospital because of epigastralgia. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed that the stomach was extended and rotated on the short axis. We performed reduction of gastric volvulus by using endoscopy, and we were able to avoid surgical teatment. After discharge, there has been no recurrence of gastric volvulus.
