Abstract
Gastrik volvulus, üst gastrointestinal sistemin kapalı-loop (döngü) obstrüksiyonu olup erken tanı ve tedavi büyük öneme sahiptir. Tedavide gecikilmesi durumunda mide duvarlarında iskemi, nekroz ve perforasyona yol açabilen ve hayati öneme sahip klinik bir durumdur. Mide volvulusunun dönme eksenine bağlı olarak organoaksiyel ve mezenteroaksiyel formları mevcuttur. Mezenteroaksiyel volvulusta, küçük ila büyük kurvaturu bağlayan kısa eksen boyunca mide rotasyonu gözlenir ve antrum ve pilor gastroözofageal bileşkenin üzerinde yer değiştirir. Spesifik olmayan semptomlar nedeniyle bilgisayarlı tomografi (BT) tanıda kritik bir role sahiptir.
