An acute gastric
volvulus
in a 10 years old boy with
Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome
is reported. He was immediately operated on and an organoaxial
volvulus
secondary to spleen agenesia was found. No other visceral malformation was present. Because of gastric ischemia, a second-look procedure was performed 48 hours later in order to asses necrosis extent. Gastric fundus had to be resected and the stomach was definitively fixed to the abdominal wall. Clinical, radiological and therapeutic characteristics of this unusual pathology are reviewed.
