Abstract
Joyce L Ho, Andrew W Hwang, Rasiq Zackria and Eric H Choi
Gastric volvulus is an uncommon condition that classically presents with Borchardt’s triad of severe epigastric pain, retching without vomiting, and inability to pass a nasogastric tube [1]. We report a rare and fatal case of severe gastric volvulus presenting as chest pain with electrocardiographic changes in a patient with a significant cardiac history.
