Acute gastric volvulus in children: a rare disorder.
A case of acute gastric volvulus has been presented. Although this disorder can occur in a chronic intermittent fashion, the potentially catastrophic acute form should be diagnosed early and surgically corrected. Careful attention to presenting signs and a high index of suspicion lead to prompt recognition and treatment.
