Abstract
A case of acute intra-abdominal gastric volvulus in an adult patient i s presented. It was caused by the absence of dorsal mesogastrium fusio n and was responsible for a gastric necrosis and peritonitis. The mobi le spleen displaced the greater curvature of the stomach to the right. This case-report illustrates an association between an anatomical abn ormality and a case of intra-abdominal gastric volvulus.
