Here, we report a case of adult gastric volvulus that was treated using an upper gastrointestinal series and provide a review of relevant reports. A 55-year-old woman presented with upper abdominal pain. Abdominal computed tomography revealed mesenteroaxial gastric volvulus. We performed an upper gastrointestinal series after the placement of a nasogastric tube. We successfully performed detorsion by repositioning. There was no recurrence of gastric volvulus after the detorsion. However, considering the risk of recurrence, we also performed laparoscopic gastropexy. The postoperative course was uneventful, and she was discharged from the hospital on postoperative day 3. No recurrence of symptoms has been observed to date.
