Abstract

Spontaneous rupture of the stomach is an uncommon condition with a usually poor prognosis. The rupture occurs as a result of a closed loop obstruction with increased pressure against the stomach wall. A case of stomach rupture occurring after hyperdistention of the stomach following ingestion of sodium bicarbonate is described and the pathophysiological mechanism is discussed.
