Gastric volvulus is an uncommon condition in which a torsion of the stomach results in acute or chronic gastrointestinal symptoms. We report a case of an intrathoracic organo-axial gastric volvulus secondary to a hiatal hernia. The patient died after surgery. Even though it was a surgical emergency, the patient was admitted to a Medical Department because she was regularly examined by the Digestive Endoscopy Unit for a hiatal hernia. The Authors emphasize the contribution of endoscopy to the preoperative recognition of this condition.
胃扭转是一种罕见的病症，胃的扭转会导致急性或慢性胃肠道症状。我们报告一例继发于食管裂孔疝的胸腔内器官轴型胃扭转病例。患者术后死亡。尽管这是一种外科急症，但该患者因定期接受消化内镜科对食管裂孔疝的检查而入住内科。作者强调了内镜检查在术前识别这种病症中的作用。
