Contrast-enhanced abdominal CT findings. The arrow shows the NG tube inserted into the stomach. Axial CT scan at the abdominal esophagus level (a) demonstrates the grossly enlarged stomach with resultant displacement of the gastric antrum (A and arrowheads) above the abdominal esophagus. More caudal axial CT scan (b) and coronal CT images (c, d) reveal the stomach to be twisted mesenteroaxially, with the antrum (A) positioned higher than the fundus (F). CT findings (b, d) show the normal-sized spleen positioned inferiorly toward the left kidney as compared to its normal position.
