Abstract
Spontaneous gastric rupture is a rare but potentially fatal condition in the pediatric population, with most cases occurring during the neonatal period. The exact etiology remains unclear, and the underlying mechanism has yet to be definitively established. Through this case, we aim to emphasize the possibility of spontaneous gastric perforation occurring in a child without preexisting comorbidities and to highlight the importance of prompt recognition and management of spontaneous gastric rupture.
