INTRODUCTION: In the setting of intermittent abdominal pain accompanied by gastro-intestinal obstruction, gastric volvulus should be suspected.
AREAS COVERED: A 10-year-old girl was admitted to our hospital for intermitted abdominal pain associated with recurrent non-bilious vomiting and acute weight loss. The radiological images performed at the district general hospital were reported as negative. After careful review of the imaging, a gastric volvulus was suspected. Exploratory laparoscopy confirmed the diagnosis; laparoscopic-assisted percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy was performed. The postoperative upper gastro-intestinal study showed stomach in its normal shape and position.
EXPERT COMMENTARY: Gastric volvulus is a potential life-threatening condition with a good outcome when promptly recognized. Laparoscopic-assisted percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy is a safe and curative procedure in the case of suspected gastric volvulus, avoiding the need for a secondary procedure. In pediatric patients, it facilitates direct inspection of the stomach and abdominal cavity, reducing the need for a second procedure. This procedure may emerge as a 'gold standard' for gastric volvulus treatment.
