Acute Gastric Volvulus Causing Splenic Avulsion and Hemoperitoneum

Figure 1

Organoaxial gastric volvulus. Rotation of the stomach along its long axis through a line that connects the gastroesophageal junction and the pylorus. The antrum rotates anterosuperiorly and the fundus rotates posteroinferiorly. The greater curvature of the stomach comes to rest superior to the lesser curvature of the stomach in an inverted position.
