ABSTRACT
Acute dilation of the stomach is a rare condition. It is classically observed in psychiatry in eating disorders. Theses findings suggest that bulimia nervosa together with anorexia nervosa resulted in rapid dilation of the stomach. The clinical presentation is not specific; therefore the diagnosis requires the use of imaging (CT). The delay of diagnosis can cause often dramatic consequences. Insertion of a nasogastric tube urgently can avoid complications that require surgical management. We report the first autopsy case of fatal gastric dilatation without rupture occurred in a patient of 38 years old which happened at the Department of General Surgery of the University Hospital of Tizi Ouzou.
