Gastric perforation in a case of gastric volvulus.
We describe a case of organoaxial gastric volvulus in which the axis was through the body of the stomach. The intraabdominal part of the volvulus was complicated by bleeding from two necrotic ulcers, one of which was perforated by the tip of a nasogastric tube.
