Abstract
- Gastric volvulus can result in complications such as gastric ischemia, perforation, and haemorrhage. There is consensus on repair upon diagnosis. We present a patient of gastric volvulus, who remained under the care of physicians with symptom of chest pain for over three years and was eventually treated by laparoscopic surgery.
