A case of gastric volvulus in an adult

A 40-year-old quadriplegic female with vomiting and abdominal distension that did not improve visited our clinic. She had a history of repeated episodes of gastric volvulus. Abdominal computed tomography suggested gastric volvulus and she was admitted to our hospital (day 1). A nasogastric tube was inserted on day 1. The gastric volvulus was released, and she did not relapse. The abdominal distension improved, and she was discharged on day 13.
