Gastric dilatation-volvulus is an acute and life-threatening condition characterized by rapid accumulation of air and malposition of the stomach that requires veterinary intervention. Dirofilariasis is a disease caused by the nematode Dirofilaria immitis which can cause chronic and severe injuries in the animal’s cardiovascular system. In this study, a case of gastric dilatation volvulus syndrome and splenic rupture in a dog with incidental finding of dirofilariasis in its necropsy will be reported.
