title: [Acute intra-abdominal gastric volvulus in adults. Defect of dorsal mesogastrium fusion].
abstract: A case of acute intra-abdominal gastric volvulus in an adult patient is presented. It was caused by the absence of dorsal mesogastrium fusion and was responsible for a gastric necrosis and peritonitis. The mobile spleen displaced the greater curvature of the stomach to the right. This case-report illustrates an association between an anatomical abnormality and a case of intra-abdominal gastric volvulus.
