Abstract

We here in report a very unusual case of a 40-year-old female lady who presented with the sole symptom of recurrent vomiting for the last 4 months. She was diagnosed to be a case of organoaxial gastric volvulus through a old diaphragmatic defect. She was successfully treated with anterior gastropexy and on 3 months follow-up she continues to be in a good state of health.
