ABSTRACT
Acute organo-axial gastric volvulus is a surgical entity not well known among elderly women. We report the case of an 82-year-old known hypertensive patient on treatment, whose diagnosis was made in a private clinic with a barium meal and the surgery performed at Souro Sanou Teaching Hospital. It was an acute organo-axial gastric volvulus on a mixed hiatus hernia. Detorsion occurred spontaneously during surgical exploration. Treatment consisted of repositioning the oesophago-gastric junction intra-abdominally, followed by approximation of the oesophageal pillars and gastropexy at the diaphragm level. Unfortunately, the patient died on post-operative day one from cardiac failure.
Key words: Stomach, Volvulus, Barium meal, Hiatus hernia
