Acute Gastric Dilatation Because of Binge Eating in a Mentally Retarded Child
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
Acute gastric dilatation (AGD) is a rare entity and has multiple clinical presentation. It is important for a clinician to be aware of this condition as it helps in early diagnosis and treatment. We present this case of a young girl who had presented with sudden onset abdominal distention and vomiting. Diagnosis of acute gastric dialatation was established by clinical examination and X- ray abdomen. Gastric decompression was done by nasogastric tube for 3 – 4 days. It allowed the normal gastric motility to return gradually. Gastric motility agent also helped in early recovery. It is important to diagnose acute gastric dialatation early and treatment with gastric decompression and gastric motility helps in quick recovery.
