    Author: Thakur S, Jhobta A, Sharma B, Chauhan A, Thakur CS.
    Journal: Asian J Surg; 2017 Jul; 40(4):313-316. PubMed ID: 24947765.
    Abstract:
    Marfan syndrome is multisystem connective tissue disorder that primarily involves the skeletal, cardiovascular, and ocular systems. The gastrointestinal complications in Marfan syndrome are rare, with only a few case reports described in the literature. We present a 25-year-old woman who presented with acute abdominal pain for 1 day. The imaging features revealed complex diaphragmatic hiatus hernia with organoaxial gastric volvulus. This is a unique case report about an adult patient with Marfan syndrome who presented with symptomatic paraesophageal hernia and organoaxial gastric volvulus.
