Department of Surgery, College of Medicine, Qassim University, 52571 Buraydah, Al‑Qassim, Saudi Arabia.

Aim: Intestinal malrotation (IM) represents a rare congenital anomaly in adults, although it is more common during infancy. This condition originates during embryonic development due to incomplete rotation of the midgut around the superior mesenteric vessels. The primary aim of this case study is to emphasize the importance of surgeon awareness and recognition of this congenital anomaly during laparoscopic gastric surgery to avoid serious complications.

Department of Surgery, Northwell Health, New Hyde Park, New York, USA.

Article Synopsis
  • Gastric volvulus is a rare condition where the stomach twists, causing upper gastrointestinal obstruction, and can occur along either vertical (organoaxial) or horizontal (mesenteroaxial) axes.
  • Its uncommon nature and non-specific symptoms make it difficult to diagnose, particularly in cases without structural abnormalities like hiatal hernia.
  • The text presents a unique case of an elderly man in his 70s who experienced an acute idiopathic mesenteroaxial volvulus, which was successfully treated using laparoscopic surgery.

Article Synopsis
  • A 49-year-old woman with a history of hiatal hernia and biliary issues experienced severe abdominal pain following a gastrointestinal illness, prompting her visit to the emergency department.
  • Initial tests showed an elevated white blood cell count, and CT scans indicated gastric distension and volvulus, but the actual issue was a bowel herniation through the foramen of Winslow.
  • During surgery, doctors found that her right colon was trapped, causing a blockage; the herniation was successfully reduced, leading to significant relief of her symptoms.

Background: Parahiatal hernias present a hernial orifice at the diaphragm that is adjacent to the esophageal hiatus, differing from the paraesophageal type of hiatal hernias. Although diagnostic imaging has advanced in recent years, diagnosing parahiatal hernias remains challenging. We herein report a case in which we performed laparoscopic surgery and intraoperatively diagnosed a parahiatal hernia.

Background: Acute complete gastric volvulus is a rare and life-threatening disease, which is prone to gastric wall ischemia, perforation, and necrosis. If it is not treated by surgery in time, the mortality rate can range from 30 to 50%. Clinical presentations of acute gastric volvulus are atypical and often mimic other abdominal conditions such as gastritis, gastroesophageal reflux, gastric dilation, and pancreatitis.
