“…In cases where serious complications like gastric perforation or gangrene are present, partial or total gastrectomy is often considered the optimal treatment. 10 In our case, because of the presence of necrosis and gastric gangrene, we performed a total gastrectomy with jejunal anastomosis, utilizing a gastric tube and closing the esophageal hiatus, along with jejunojejunal anastomosis. Wandering spleen is an uncommon condition that arises from the absence of one or more splenic ligaments, allowing the spleen to move to the pelvis or any part of the abdomen.…”

Gastric volvulus and wandering spleen are two rare and uncommon conditions. Gastric volvulus is characterized by the rotation of the stomach around itself, causing a closed obstruction. It was first described in the 19th century and is classified according to the axis, etiology, or chronicity. A wandering spleen is defined by the absence of one or all of the splenic ligaments, which occurs either for congenital or acquired reasons. An enlarged spleen may contribute to the wandering spleen and, in turn, lead to gastric volvulus and infarction of the stomach, requiring emergency surgical intervention. In this report, we present a case of a 19-year-old female who presented to the emergency department with severe abdominal pain and epigastric distension. After performing the necessary investigations, she was diagnosed with a wandering spleen and acute gastric volvulus. An immediate laparotomy was performed and both the spleen and the stomach were resected to save the patient’s life at the right time.
