Gastric Volvulus Due to Splenomegaly - A rare Entity
Journal Title: People's Journal of Scientific Research. - Year 2008, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Gastric volvulus is a rare condition which typically presents with intermittent episodes of abdominal pain. The volvulus occurs around an axis made by two fixed points, organo-axial or mesentero-axial. Increased pressure within the hernial sac associated with gastric distension can lead to ischemia and perforation. Acute obstruction of a gastric volvulus is thus a surgical emergency.We present an unusual case of gastric volvulus secondary to tropical splenomegaly. Tropical splenomegaly precipitating gastric volvulus is not documented till date.
