Unusual Association of Gastric Volvulus with Hypertrophic Pyloric Stenosis: A Rare Entity
نویسندگان
چکیده
Gastric volvulus is extremely rare in neonates and is to be considered in differential diagnosis of recurrent vomiting in pediatric age group. There are various predisposing congenital and acquired factors that lead to gastric volvulus like absence of gastrocolic ligament attachment, abnormal fixation; diaphragmatic hernia and eventration of diaphragm etc. We describe unusual association of gastric volvulus with infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis. The patient was well managed by pyloromayotomy and anterior gastropexy with gastrostomy. This is the very case of infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis associated with gastric volvulus and very few cases described in world literature.
