There are two main types of gastric volvulus:

  1. Organo-axial volvulus: In this type, the stomach twists along its long axis, causing the stomach to rotate excessively. This type is often associated with conditions that result in an elongated stomach, such as diaphragmatic hernias or paraesophageal hernias.
  2. Mesentero-axial volvulus: This type involves the stomach twisting around its mesentery, a fold of tissue that connects the stomach to other organs. It is less common than organo-axial volvulus and can be associated with conditions that cause the stomach to be in an abnormally mobile position.
