ABSTRACT
Although regurgitation or vomiting can be a functional GI disorder during infancy, patients should be spontaneously resolved before 18 months of age. Thus, children with chronic vomiting, particularly in association with poor weight gain, should be considered for investigation of any possible of intestinal obstruction. Herein, we report a child, presening with chronic non- bilious vomiting, abdominal distension, and failure to thrive, who had been treated initially as GERD and was diagnosed finally as gastric volvulus with diaphragmatic hernia.
