چکیده
Gastric dilatation-volvulus (GDV) is an emergency condition involving abnormal, excessive gas distension and rotation of the stomach. The syndrome of GDV – both the gastric pathology and associated cardiovascular and other organ consequences is a major medical and surgical emergency, involving significant stress to both the patient, requiring the clinician to possess a sound and thorough knowledge of the pathophysiology, patient problems and therapy involved with the condition.

Disseminated intravascular coagulation in dogs with gastric dilatation-volvulus syndrome
Gastric dilatation and volvulus syndrome is associated with changes in haemostatic profiles. The aims of this study were to compare selected haemostatic and fibrinolytic parameters between healthy dogs and dogs with gastric dilatation and volvulus syndrome, estimate the incidence of disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), and determine the most sensitive test for detection of DIC in these...
متن کاملAcute gastric volvulus in a patient with trisomy 21
Acute gastric volvulus is a torsion of the stomach by more than 180° and a life-threatening condition. We present a 50-year-old male patient with acute abdominal pain who has Down syndrome/trisomy 21. Computed tomography showed a significant distended stomach with features of a severe gastric volvulus. Emergency operation in form of reduction and gastropexy was performed. We are not aware of an...
متن کاملCongenital paraesophageal hiatus hernia with gastric volvulus
Paraesophageal hiatus hernia is rarely seen in the neonatal period. An intrathoracic gastric volvulus complicating such a hernia is rarer. The upper gastrointestinal tract contrast study is diagnostic. Rapid diagnosis and treatment is essential. It avoids lethal complications as gastric dilatation, gangrene and perforation, which in turn may lead to cardiopulmonary arrest.
متن کاملGastric Necrosis due to Acute Massive Gastric Dilatation
Gastric necrosis due to acute massive gastric dilatation is relatively rare. Vascular reasons, herniation, volvulus, acute gastric dilatation, anorexia, and bulimia nervosa play a role in the etiology of the disease. Early diagnosis and treatment are highly important as the associated morbidity and mortality rates are high. In this case report, we present a case of gastric necrosis due to acute...
متن کاملChronic gastric instability and presumed incomplete volvulus in dogs.
Chronic gastric volvulus in dogs results in long-standing gastrointestinal signs unlike those of acute gastric dilatation and volvulus. This report describes chronic gastric volvulus in seven dogs. The majority of dogs presented with weight loss, chronic vomiting, lethargy and abdominal pain. A combination of radiographic, ultrasonographic and endoscopic imaging indicated altered positioning of...
