title: Eventration of diaphragm with gastric volvulus: a case report.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Eventration of diaphragm associated with gastric volvulus is an uncommon condition.
  
  
  METHODS
  We are reporting a case of a 60-year-old male having left sided total diaphragmatic eventration associated with chronic intermittent organo-axial gastric volvulus. The patient presented with progressive dyspnea and intermittent gastrointestinal symptoms. Plication of left hemidiaphragm with anterior gastropexy was performed through an abdominal approach. Postoperatively the patient's symptoms improved.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Symptomatic gastric volvulus associated with diaphragmatic eventration is a surgical emergency and always requires surgical repair.
