    A scuba diver experienced stomach rupture due to swallowed air expanding during ascent. This rare but serious condition, gastric perforation, requires immediate surgical repair for a positive outcome.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Diving Medicine
    • Emergency Medicine

    Background:

    • Scuba divers may experience gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms due to swallowed air expanding during ascent.
    • This phenomenon, known as decompression of swallowed air, is a common occurrence in diving.

    Observation:

    • A rare case of stomach rupture (gastric perforation) occurred in a 47-year-old scuba diver.
    • The patient presented with symptoms indicative of significant GI distress.

    Findings:

    • Gastric perforation is an uncommon but critical complication of swallowed air decompression during scuba diving.
    • Prompt diagnosis and surgical intervention are essential for managing this rare condition.

    Implications:

    • Highlights the importance of recognizing rare but severe GI complications in divers.
