VANEGAS-DUARTE,, Esteban y DUQUE-MONTANO, Angélica María. Emphysematous gastritis in association with gastric adenocarcinoma. A case report. Rev. colomb. Gastroenterol. [online]. 2021, vol.36, n.1, pp.87-92. Epub 21-Oct-2021. ISSN 0120-9957. https://doi.org/10.22516/25007440.430.
This report describes a case of emphysematous gastritis, a rare clinical condition consisting of invasion of the gastric wall caused by gas-producing bacteria. It can lead to fatal outcomes due to the unspecific nature of the symptoms and its torpid course. The following is the case of a highly fragile 77-year-old male patient, who presented with symptoms of emphysematous gastritis that did not respond to medical treatment and required emergency gastrectomy. In addition, the patient had an infiltrating ulcerated gastric adenocarcinoma, which had not previously been diagnosed and was a probable conditioning and triggering factor.
