Visceroptosis, or Glenard’s disease, describes the downward displacement of abdominal organs from their normal anatomical positions. When this condition specifically affects the stomach, it is known as gastroptosis. Gastroptosis is a rare and often overlooked condition, characterized by the descent of the stomach into the pelvic cavity. This results in the greater curve of the stomach being positioned below the level of the iliac crest, while the antrum typically remains in its usual location [1].

The condition is most commonly attributed to excessive laxity of the abdominal wall and the mesenteric attachments of the stomach, which become too thin and relaxed under the weight of the organ. This laxity allows the stomach to descend, disrupting its normal function and potentially causing symptoms such as gastro-esophageal reflux and dysphagia. These symptoms are often non-specific, making gastroptosis challenging to diagnose without the use of imaging [2].
