VARGAS-RUBIO, Rómulo Darío et al. Gastric volvulus in a nonagenarian patient: endoscopic and laparoscopic intervention. Case report. Rev. colomb. Gastroenterol. [online]. 2021, vol.36, suppl.1, pp.107-111. Epub 21-Fev-2022. ISSN 0120-9957. https://doi.org/10.22516/25007440.621.
Gastric volvulus is a rare condition that can occur acutely or chronically and is accompanied by nonspecific symptoms. Its rapid identification is critical since it has high mortality rate and timely treatment determines the patient’s prognosis.
The following is the case of an 89-year-old female patient who presented with atypical chest pain, with organoaxial gastric volvulus on chest X-ray, in whom endoscopic devolvulation was initially performed successfully. However, control imaging scans revealed recurrence. Therefore, surgical management included hiatoplasty and Toupet fundoplication, as well as percutaneous fixation gastrostomy, a procedure that was completed without complications and resulted in complete devolvulation without recurrence.
