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. Keywords: Acute gastric volvulus, Total gastric necrosis, Ischemia of surrounding organs, Acute gastric dilatation
