title: Organoaxial volvulus of the stomach and volvulus of the sigmoid colon.
abstract: The management of a patient in whom both organoaxial volvulus of the stomach and volvulus of the sigmoid colon had occurred is described. Anterior gastropexy was successful in preventing recurrence of the gastric volvulus. The angulation and distortion of the stomach so produced may have been responsible for the development of a benign gastric ulcer.
