Stomach congestion. Becker (Arch. f. klin. Chir., Bd. 145)
The author distinguishes between stomach turning (torsio) and stomach twisting (volvulus) leading to gastric obstruction. A turn of the stomach is an increase in its physiological movement, it never leads to violent phenomena. Gastric volvulus can be either in the longitudinal or transverse direction. Its predisposing moments are the condition of the ligaments of the stomach, overfilling of the latter, increased peristalsis and antiperistalsis, bloating of the bowels, diaphragmatic hernia and paralysis of the diaphragm. Abdominal tension, vomiting, and trauma may be external causes of the twist.
