Practically all of the GVs in our sample presented radiological features consistent with a ‘back-and-forth stomach’. Our study reinforces the idea that the majority of GVs are caused by this mechanism. In addition, potentially useful radiological signs have been identified, which could help radiologists improve the diagnosis of GV.
Furthermore, we found that the duration of symptoms prior to performing the CT scan is associated with the presence of radiological complications, which could contribute to the management of these patients through specific protocols for earlier referral and intervention.
