Congenital Microgastria in a Two-Month-Old Boy

Abstract

Introduction: Congenital microgastria is an extremely rare anomaly, which is due to failure of gastric development, and causes a tubular stomach with reduced capacity. It is almost always associated with other congenital anomalies. Case Presentation: The patient was a two-month-old boy with microgastria in association with gastroesophageal reflux, tracheomalacia, and limb defect. Discussion: Most cases of congenital microgastria are associated with other anomalies such as VACTERL. We concluded that upper gastrointestinal contrast studies should be done in patients with frequent vomiting and other multiple anomalies.
