"Organo-axial volvulus "
"Gastric volvulus is a specific type of volvulus that occurs when the stomach twists abnormally around one of its anatomical axes. Rotation must be at least 180° and produce gastric outlet or bowel obstruction to be defined as gastric volvulus. Simple or partial gastric rotation without obstruction is not considered true volvulus."
