Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
Abstract: Congenital microgastria is a rare congenital anomaly frequently associated with other developmental defects and an isolated presentation is extremely rare. The patient presented to us at the age of 6 months with complaints of recurrent vomiting and failure to thrive. An upper gastrointestinal contrast study was done which revealed a small stomach with a dilated esophagus. A Hunt-Lawrence pouch gastric augmentation was done at 18 months of age and the patient tolerated oral feeds well, post-operatively. Isolated congenital microgastria is an extremely rare developmental anomaly and only one case has been reported till date in India. Among the various treatment options the Hunt-Lawrence pouch gastric augmentation is the treatment of choice. Keywords: Congenital microgastria, Hunt-Lawrence pouch gastric augmentation.
