- Twisting of all or part of stomach on its long or short axis by at least 180°
- Organoaxial volvulus (OAV): Twisting along long axis [i.e., line drawn from gastroesophageal (GE) junction to pylorus]
- Mesenteroaxial volvulus (MAV): Twisting along short axis (perpendicular to long axis)
- Mixed volvulus: Rotation along both long & short axes
- Twisting of stomach on axes < 180°: Gastric torsion
