Gastric Emphysema Following Blunt Trauma Abdomen-A Rare Entity
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
Abstract: Gastric emphysema denotes the presence of air in the wall of the stomach. It may be classified into traumatic, pulmonary or obstructive types depending upon the mechanism and pathogenesis. Blunt trauma to the abdomen is one of the causes of traumatic gastric emphysema. Here we present a case of gastric emphysema following blunt trauma abdomen in a 18 years old male patient, who was managed conservatively. The patient was having grade II liver injury that was managed without any surgical intervention. The rarity of this condition encourages us to report the condition and contribute to the appropriate literature. Keywords: Gastric emphysema; Air; Gastric; Blunt Trauma; Liver trauma
