Acute gastric volvulus in children is uncommon. This paper reports a case presented in a 14-year-old female whose diagnosis was suspected preoperatively taking into account the Brouchardt triad (vomiting, epigastric pain and inability to pass the nasogastric tube into the stomach). The child underwent laparatomy and the final diagnosis was mesenteroaxial gastric volvulus complicated with gastric perforation. Closure of the perforation and gastropexy were performed and the operative results were satisfactory.
