RESUMO
Gastric volvulus leading to acute gastric dilatation is a rare presentation of congenital diaphragmatic hernia. Urgent detorsion with gastropexy and closure of the diaphragmatic defect are essential to prevent further complications and recurrence. We present a rare case of an infant with acute gastric dilatation due to acute gastric volvulus secondary to congenital diaphragmatic hernia.
RESUMO
Trichobezoar, a rare condition of intragastric hair accumulation is commonly associated with an underlying psychological condition. Removal of the bezoar either endoscopically or surgically (laparoscopy or laparotomy) with concurrent psychiatric assessment and treatment is the mode of treatment. We present a 10-year-old child with recurrent trichobezoar, who was managed surgically the first time, and subsequently endoscopic removal was done on recurrence of bezoar after 3 months. We also present the difficulties encountered during endoscopic bezoar removal.
