%X Hiatal hernias are commonly encountered in clinical practice. In certain cases, especially in large hiatal hernias, gastric volvulus can occur. Patients with volvulus typically will present with vomiting, chest pain, shortness of breath, and dysphagia. In extreme cases, gastric volvulus can result in gastric necrosis requiring partial or total gastrectomy. Here we highlight a case of a 76-year-old female with a known large type IV hiatal hernia who was found to have gastric volvulus with necrosis requiring partial sleeve gastrectomy. This case demonstrates the rare, but possible complication of gastric necrosis secondary to gastric volvulus from a large hiatal hernia, prompting emergent surgical intervention.
