Stomach volvulus in its acute form is a serious sudden disorder in the abdominal cavity. The case of stomach volvulus, that had been successfully surgically solved, is described in the presented paper. Even though the volvulus was not caused by the hiatus hernia, the antireflux fundoplication according to Nissen–Rossetti was performed besides the frontal gastropexy.
