Gastritis necroticans in children
Insights
Gastric wall necrosis occurred in two patients after abdominal surgery due to septic shock, infection, and hypoxia. Prompt surgical intervention, including subtotal gastrectomy, was crucial for their recovery.
Area of Science:
- Gastroenterology
- Surgical Pathology
Background:
- Post-abdominal surgery complications can include severe systemic and local issues.
- Septic shock, infection, and hypoxia are critical factors influencing organ viability.
Observation:
- Two cases presented with gastric wall necrosis following abdominal operations.
- These complications arose in the context of septic shock, infection, and hypoxia.
Findings:
- Necrosis of the gastric wall necessitated further surgical intervention.
- Subtotal resection of the stomach was performed in these critical cases.
Implications:
- Understanding the contributing factors to gastric necrosis is vital for surgical outcomes.
- Identifying key elements for full recovery can guide clinical management and improve patient prognosis.
Abstract:
The authors discuss two cases in which following abdominal operations in consequence of septic shock, infection and hypoxia, necrosis of the gastric wall developed requiring further operations, subtotal resection of the stomach included. Attention is paid to the factors responsible for full recovery.

Gastritis-I: Introduction and Types
Acute gastritis presents as a sudden inflammation triggered by various stressors to the stomach lining, such as exposure to corrosive agents, local irritants like aspirin and other NSAIDs, alcohol consumption, radiation therapy, physical trauma, severe burns, sepsis,...
Gastritis-II: Pathophysiology
In acute gastritis, the gastric mucosa becomes swollen and red and undergoes superficial erosion. Superficial ulceration may lead to bleeding.
In chronic gastritis, persistent or repeated insults lead to chronic inflammatory changes and, eventually, thinning or atrophy of the gastric tissue.
Gastritis can stem from various causes, each...

Clinical manifestations of acute gastritis
The patient with acute gastritis may have a rapid onset of symptoms, such as epigastric pain or discomfort, dyspepsia, anorexia, hiccups, or nausea and vomiting, which can last from a few hours to a few days. Erosive or hemorrhagic gastritis may cause bleeding, which may manifest as blood in vomit or as...
