ABSTRACT

Acute massive gastric dilatation is a rare condition mainly seen in patients with alimentary disorders. This massive distention may cause gastric necrosis and even perforation and emphysematous gastritis. We report the case of an 18-year-old female with intense abdominal pain and signs of sepsis. Computed-tomography scan diagnosed an acute massive gastric distention within gas into the gastric wall. Despite rapid instauration of conservative treatment, the patient finally underwent surgery. It is important to discard this infrequent pathology even in young and healthy people. An early diagnosis is crucial, a rapid instauration of conservative management may be effective and avoid surgery.


La distensión gástrica masiva es una condición rara, principalmente descrita en pacientes con trastornos de la conducta alimentaria, que puede evolucionar hacia una necrosis, perforación o gastritis enfisematosa. Reportamos el caso de una paciente de 18 años valorada por intenso dolor abdominal y sepsis, diagnosticada de distensión gástrica masiva. A pesar del tratamiento conservador, la paciente requirió cirugía urgente. Es importante descartar esta entidad cuando valoramos a un paciente en Urgencias ya que es una patología infrecuente presente en gente joven y sana. Un diagnóstico temprano es crucial porque el tratamiento conservador precoz puede ser eficaz y evitar la cirugía.

ABSTRACT

Necrotizing gastritis is an infrequent severe pathology. The rich vascular supply and intramural arterial anastomosis protects stomach from vascular disease and embolism. Gastric infarction and necrosis presents as an acute abdominal emergency that requires rapid resolution, which in general includes surgery. Other important etiologies reported are chemical agents, mechanical distention, postoperative, bulimia and infectious diseases. In this article, we report a case of necrotizing gastritis in a 29 years-old male patient, with chronic consumption of NSAIDs for low back pain. He was admitted in the emergency room due to acute abdominal pain that appeared, after alcohol and raw fish consumption. Antral wall thickening was observed in the abdominal computed tomography. Upper gastric endoscopy showed necrosis of antral mucosa and biopsies confirmed necrotizing gastritis. He received medical therapy with antibiotics and proton pump inhibitors with an excellent response with clinical and endoscopic resolution in one month.


La gastritis necrotizante es una patología infrecuente muy grave. Esto se debe en parte a la rica irrigación y a las anastomosis arteriales intramurales que protegen al estómago de enfermedades vasculares y embolias. El infarto gástrico se presenta como una urgencia abdominal, que requiere resolución precoz, frecuentemente quirúrgica. Otras etiología importantes reportadas incluyen agentes químicos, factores mecánicos, bulimia e infecciones. En este artículo se presenta el caso de un paciente de 29 años, sexo masculino, con antecedentes de uso crónico de anti-inflamatorios no esteroidales (AINES), que ingresa a urgencia con dolor abdominal agudo, posterior al consumo de alcohol y pescado crudo. Destaca un engrosamiento antral marcado, sin neumatosis en la tomografía computada de abdomen. En la endoscopia digestiva alta se observa extensa necrosis de la mucosa antral y se confirma el diagnóstico de gastritis necrotizante por biopsias. El paciente tuvo una excelente respuesta a tratamiento con reposo intestinal, antibióticos e inhibidores de bomba de protones. Luego de 1 mes, presentó recuperación completa clínica y endoscopía.
