title: [Chronic volvulus of the stomach].
abstract: An acute gastric volvulus calls for an urgent operation, while a chronic volvulus can be indicated for operation only after a careful clinical and paraclinical examination which rules out other causes of the symptoms. The authors describe a case of secondary gastric volvulus successfully treated by a causal surgical operation involving elimination of adhesions without gastropexy.
