Resumen
TAFERNABERRY, Sofía et al. Acute gastric volvulus: an uncommon presentation. Rev. argent. cir. [online]. 2021, vol.113, n.4, pp.477-481. ISSN 2250-639X. http://dx.doi.org/10.25132/raac.v113.n4.1575.
Acute gastric volvulus (AGV) is an uncommon condition with high mortality (up to 50%) and its diagnosis is based on high level of suspicion. Conservative management can be attempted in stable patients, but the surgical approach is indicated in unstable cases. We report the case of a patient with AGV and hemodynamic instability who underwent laparotomy with reduction of the volvulus but who died in the immediate postoperative period due to refractory shock.
