Abstract

Gastric volvulus leading to acute gastric dilatation is a rare presentation of congenital diaphragmatic hernia. Urgent detorsion with gastropexy and closure of the diaphragmatic defect are essential to prevent further complications and recurrence. We present a rare case of an infant with acute gastric dilatation due to acute gastric volvulus secondary to congenital diaphragmatic hernia.

Keywords: acute gastric dilatation; congenital diaphragmatic hernia; diaphragmatic hernia; gastric dilatation; gastric volvulus.
