Abstract
|
|
|
|
Spontaneous gastric perforation in a healthy child is extremely rare; however, its outcome can be life-threatening. Gastric perforation may be caused by inflammation, mechanical injury, ingestion, and vascular compromise. We report a rare case of gastric perforation with unfavorable results in a 13-year-old, previously healthy, boy. We conclude that acute gastric volvulus is a possible cause of gastric perforation in this case.
