Spontaneous Gastric Perforation in an Adolescent: A Case Report
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2019, Vol 18, Issue 1
Abstract
Gastric perforation in an adolescent age group is a very rare disorder. Etiology of gastric perforation still remains unclear. Although case reports on duodenal perforation are available but only handful of case reports are available for gastric perforation in adolescent age group. If we overlook, it will end up in life threatening situations. Although perforations due to various etiologies are common, spontaneous gastric perforation is very rare. Here we share our experience on a 17year old boy who presented with complaints of abdominal pain which turned out to be a gastric perforation. Emergency exploratory laparotomy was performed, which revealed pre-pylorus perforation and was closed with modified graham’s patch
