Online published on 19 February, 2016. Abstract Gastric volvulus with eventration of diaphragm is an uncommon occurrence. We report here case of a middle-aged woman who came with left-sided chest pain since 1 month, and occasional history of breathlessness in supine position. She was advised to have chest radiograph and ECG done. ECG was within normal limits. On chest radiograph, there was smooth, round, well-defined elevation of left hemidiaphragm with air fluid levels below it. Mediastinum was shifted towards right side. Based on that, barium meal was advised which showed contrast filling with alteration of axis of stomach. Organoaxial type of gastric volvulus is confirmed.
