Abstract

Gastric volvulus may develop primarily as a result of looseness or lack of gastric ligaments or secondarily to paraesophageal or diaphragmatic hernias. Gastric volvulus associated with paraesophageal hernia, Morgagni hernia, and liver cyst is a very rare cause of acute abdomen, and requires prompt surgical intervention. In this article the association of gastric volvulus, paraesophageal hernia, Morgagni hernia and liver cyst is being discussed under the light of current literature data.
