Gastric volvulus and gastroduodeno-jejunal intussusception (an unusual cause of acute abdomen).

An elderly man who presented with colicky abdominal pain had gastric volvulus which was reduced after barium meaL More than a year later the symptoms recurred and at laparotomy a gastroduodenojejunal intussusception was found and its apex was formed by a polypoidal gastric tumour (leiomyoma). The patient did very well without any recurrence after the resection of the tumour.
