Background: Gastric volvulus is when the stomach turns on one of its axes. Objective: To make a diagnostic approach through special studies, describing the different types and their characteristics. Materials and methods: We conducted a search in the institutional PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System) (2017 to 2019), selecting the most representative studies, with gastric volvulus diagnosis; subsequently, we built schemes to facilitate the understanding of the findings. Results and Conclusions: This information will allow the radiologist and, even more, the radiology resident, to address this clinical dilemma and recognize through this excellent tool the radiological findings of the two subtypes (organoaxial and mesenteroaxial), highlighting the importance of nominating the position, considering those patients with no emergency surgical indication.
