Abstrakt: Concomitant gastric and mesenteric volvulus was diagnosed in a 5-year-old Komondorok. Despite surgical correction of both displacements, the dog died 14 hours after surgery. Although gastric volvulus is a well-known syndrome in dogs, mesenteric volvulus has been reported infrequently. This report illustrates the importance of radiography in cases of suspected gastric volvulus to rule out other potential causes of acute abdominal distention, including mesenteric volvulus.
