A 20-year-old man with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) with recurrent gastric volvulus underwent percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG). Four months later, he developed vomiting and consciousness disturbance. CT revealed gastric volvulus recurrence along the gastrostomy axis. Endoscopic repositioning failed and fistula perforation necessitated emergency surgery. The upper position of the stomach was twisted counter-clockwise and revolved on the gastrostomy axis sliding between the lower stomach and abdominal wall. The fistula showed necrotic perforation and was thus resected. The anterior stomach wall was fixed to the abdominal wall at 3 triangular points. Thereafter, gastric volvulus did not recur. PEG is reportedly effective for preventing gastric volvulus, but there are rare cases of postgastrostomy recurrence. This successfully managed case provides valuable clinical insights.

D020388 Muscular Dystrophy, Duchenne An X-linked recessive muscle disease caused by an inability to synthesize DYSTROPHIN, which is involved with maintaining the integrity of the sarcolemma. Muscle fibers undergo a process that features degeneration and regeneration. Clinical manifestations include proximal weakness in the first few years of life, pseudohypertrophy, cardiomyopathy (see MYOCARDIAL DISEASES), and an increased incidence of impaired mentation. Becker muscular dystrophy is a closely related condition featuring a later onset of disease (usually adolescence) and a slowly progressive course.
