Gastric volvulus is a rare medical entity that requires high index of suspicion for diagnosis and treatment as it has different implications in terms of clinical presentation, diagnosis, imaging support, pathological behavior, and evaluation. When it presents acutely, it may be easily detected. However, in patients with subacute presentation, symptoms are vague due to episodic twisting and untwisting. Definite preoperative diagnosis can be established if imaging is performed during symptomatic interval. The main aim of this report was to stress on the need for keeping high index of suspicion for this medical condition and for imaging the patient during symptomatic interval.
胃扭转是一种罕见的医学病症，由于其在临床表现、诊断、影像学支持、病理行为和评估方面具有不同的意义，因此诊断和治疗需要高度的怀疑指数。当它急性发作时，可能很容易被发现。然而，在亚急性表现的患者中，由于间歇性扭转和复位，症状模糊不清。如果在症状发作期间进行影像学检查，可以确立明确的术前诊断。本报告的主要目的是强调对这种病症保持高度怀疑指数以及在症状发作期间对患者进行影像学检查的必要性。
