Gastroptosis is the abnormal downward dislocation of the stomach in which its greater curve is displaced below the iliac crest. It is not a life-threatening condition.
The condition frequently causes digestive symptoms, epigastric pain, constipation, decreased appetite, and sometimes even gastric emptying disorders.[2] It is much more prominent in women than men, and is diagnosed with x-ray using barium contrast.[1][3] Gastroptosis is mainly caused by the relaxation of surrounding ligaments and mesenteries as a result of the weight of the stomach.[4]
