The gastric volvulus is an infrequent entity requiring surgical treatment in both the acute and chronic cases. The case of an 81-year old female patient attended for an episode of gastric obstruction caused by a volvulus and whose simple stomach radiography showed an image of gastric emphysema is reported. The possible causes of gastric emphysema and its differential diagnosis with emphysematous gastritis are discussed.
