{Abstract}: Gastric volvulus (GV) is a rare condition characterized by the rotation of all or part of the stomach around its transversal or longitudinal axis. We report the case of a 76-year-old woman with the acute form of GV, likely exacerbated by hiatal hernia and age-related ligamentous relaxation, evolving for a week before her admission. She underwent a midline laparotomy with fundoplication at 270° and anterior gastropexy. GV poses life-threatening risks in its acute presentation. Surgical management entails restoring the hemodynamic stability, surgical detorsion of the volvulus, and addressing the etiology (hiatal hernia).
