Post traumatic volvulus: a case report
Abstract
Volvulus is a clinical picture that causes obstruction in the gastrointestinal system and occurs as a result of rotation of the organ around its axis. Although it mostly develops in the colon segments, it rarely occurs in the stomach. The stomach normally stabilizes its position by connecting to the spleen, liver and diaphragm. Gastric tumors, focal adhesions or masses in adjacent organs that disrupt the normal anatomy may predispose to gastric volvulus. Diaphragmatic hernia accompanies volvulus in two thirds of cases. In this article, we present a case of gastric volvulus 10 years after penetrating chest trauma and accompanied by hiatus hernia.

Keywords : Volvulus, diaphragmatic hernia, stomach
