Resumen
TUERO, Carlota et al. Acute massive gastric distention with emphysematous gastritis: a case report and literature review. Cir. cir. [online]. 2022, vol.90, n.6, pp.838-841. Epub 09-Dic-2022. ISSN 2444-054X. https://doi.org/10.24875/ciru.21000614.
Acute massive gastric dilatation is a rare condition mainly seen in patients with alimentary disorders. This massive distention may cause gastric necrosis and even perforation and emphysematous gastritis. We report the case of an 18-year-old female with intense abdominal pain and signs of sepsis. Computed-tomography scan diagnosed an acute massive gastric distention within gas into the gastric wall. Despite rapid instauration of conservative treatment, the patient finally underwent surgery. It is important to discard this infrequent pathology even in young and healthy people. An early diagnosis is crucial, a rapid instauration of conservative management may be effective and avoid surgery.
