ABSTRACT
Gastric volvulus is a rare abdominal emergency in children and occurs secondary to associated predisposing congenital defects. The less frequent idiopathic variety of gastric volvulus is mostly chronic in its clinical course. Acute idiopathic mesenteroaxial gastric volvulus is a rare subtype and two out of the four reported cases of this entity among children in the past 12 years have been from the Indian subcontinent. We report another case of acute idiopathic mesenteroaxial gastric volvulus in a 7 year old Indian girl. Possibly there is an increased propensity of Asians to this is potentially fatal disease.
