Gastric Gangrene - A Unusual Case in Young Girl Causing Stomach Perforation
Abstract: Gangrene of the stomach is a rare and a catastrophic occurrence as stomach is a highly vascularised organ. We present here a case of gastric gangrene in a 25 year female lady presenting with acute tender and guarded abdomen. Exploratory laparotomy with resection of gangrenous stomach (proximal gastrectomy) with esophago-gastric anastomosis followed by pyloroplasty and feeding jejunostomy. Patient is critically unstable and required ventilatory and ionotropic support post operatively.
Keywords: gastric gangrene
