Acute gastric volvulus is a rare yet life-threatening condition with mortality ranging from 30% to 50% if not treated promptly. The stomach rotates on itself causing strangulation precipitating necrosis, cameron lesions, and perforation. Long-standing paraesophageal hernia is a common cause of organoaxial gastric volvulus.
