Background And Aims: Acute esophageal necrosis (AEN) in the setting of gastric volvulus is a rare condition with only a handful of cases reported. Volvulus may contribute to AEN by limiting tissue perfusion and promoting massive reflux of gastric contents on compromised esophageal mucosa.
Methods: We reviewed 225 original articles, literature reviews, case series, brief reports, case reports, and discuss six total cases of co-occurring esophageal necrosis and gastric volvulus.
