Abstract

Acute gastric dilation leading to ischemia of the stomach is an under-diagnosed and potentially fatal event. Multiple etiologies can lead to this condition, and all physicians should be aware of it. Without proper and timely diagnosis and treatment, gastric perforation, hemorrhage, and other serious complications can occur. We report a case of acute gastric dilation and ischemia secondary to small bowel obstruction. We also review the world literature and discuss the etiology, diagnosis, and management of this condition.
