Very few cases of coexisting organoaxial gastric and sigmoid volvuli have been reported. In here we describe 1 such case. Our patient, a 92-year-old man, was treated with a flexible sigmoidoscopy with decompression for his sigmoid volvulus. For the gastric volvulus, the patient was initially treated with an upper endoscopic gastric decompression and subsequently treated with a laparoscopic anterior gastropexy. After the gastropexy, the patient developed bleeding and ischemia of the stomach, which is a rare complication due to the stomach's rich blood supply. This case report reiterates the need to consider rare complications in patients with such rare pathologies.
