Abstract

Gastric volvulus is a rare acute abdominal condition, especially in the pediatric field. We reported 2 cases of gastric volvulus presenting with acute abdominal pain, abdominal distension and vomiting. Both were found to be mesentero-axial type gastric volvulus on operation; one was associated with gastrosplenic and gastrocolic ligment laxacity, the other with left side diaphragmatic hernia. Both of them recovered uneventfully with no evidence of recurrence on follow up.
