ABSTRACT
The authors report a case of an one-year-old girl with growth retardation, vomiting, aspiration pneumonias and malnutrition presenting gastroesopheal reflux and microgastria. The child was underwent a double lumen Roux-en-Y jejunal reservoir (Hunt-Lawrence pouch). This treatment improved nutritional status and growth. No others anomalies were detected. Congenital microgastria is a rare anomaly which is usually associated with other malformations. The authors reviewed the literature and recommend the gastric augmentation for the treatment for microgastria.
