| Popis: | In case of repeated episodes of abdominal discomfort and vagal symptoms, especially occurring after ingestion of a rich meal, the diagnosis of intermittent volvulus could be considered. The sudden arrival of large amounts of partially digested food in the intestine after spontaneous resolution might be associated with a dumping syndrome. In rare cases, dumping‐like symptoms might be related to an intermittent gastric volvulus. In our patient, solid‐phase gastric emptying scintigraphy led to the diagnosis and was essential in treating the patient. |
