Acute gastric volvulus occurred in nine infants and one older child during the past 19 years; all patients had an associated left diaphragmatic anomaly. There were seven examples of eventration of the diaphragm, two of giant hiatal hernia and one Bochdalek hernia. Nine of the ten patients presented with vomiting and one with acute respiratory distress. The gastric volvulus was mesenteroaxial in eight patients and organoaxial in two. Operative treatment consisted of repair of the diaphragmatic anomaly and gastric fixation in eight patients. Gastric fixation alone was performed in one patient. A single patient died preoperatively and had gastric necrosis at postmortem examination. Of the nine patients treated operatively, all remain alive and well without recurrence. Acute gastric volvulus should be considered in any infant presenting with unexplained vomiting in association with a left diaphragm anomaly, and once diagnosed, immediate operation is mandatory.
