Abstract

Post-traumatic stomach stenosis is a rare entity, mainly in pediatrics. We present a case in which a stomach stenosis develops secondary to blunt abdominal trauma by hit-and-run. Radiological studies showed a stomach with a tubular, aperistaltic appearance, verified endoscopically. Gastric dilatation with pneumatic balloon is chosen as a therapeutic option.
