Abstract
Acute gastric dilatation leading to compromised vascular visceral vascular flow is an exceptionally rare complication typically described in patients with bulimia or anorexia following binge episodes. We present a fatal case involving a non-bulimic patient who experienced an acute gastric dilatation secondary to pyloric stenosis. Despite intensive treatment, the patient succumbed to complications arising from acute reperfusion syndrome. Managing such patients is highly challenging, and the prognosis is often poor, as supported by the limited reports available in the literature.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Vascular Surgery Cases and Innovative Techniques is a surgical journal dedicated to publishing peer review high quality case reports, vascular images and innovative techniques related to all aspects of arterial, venous, and lymphatic diseases and disorders, including vascular trauma, malformations, wound care and the placement and maintenance of arterio-venous dialysis accesses with an emphasis on the practicing clinician. The Journal seeks to provide novel and timely information to vascular surgeons, interventionalists, phlebologists, wound care specialists, and allied health professionals involved with the management of patients with the entire spectrum of vascular disorders.
