Abstract Chronic volvulus of the stomach is of rare occurrence. Factors inducing this lesion are chiefly, visceroptosis, abnormally long mesenteric attachment, and other congenital malformations of the suspensory apparatus. The acute type of chronic volvulus needs immediate surgical interference consisting of a reduction and pexy. The chronic type is often intermittent, reversible, and at times, may be approached medically. However, if a concomitant lesion is found responsible, surgery is necessary. A case of chronic volvulus of the stomach is presented. A huge penetrating ulcer on the lesser curvature with subsequent complications necessitated surgical interference. An anterior antecolic gastroenterostomy was successfully performed.
