Una causa poco frecuente de muerte súbita e inesperada: Dilatación gástrica aguda

Abstract

We report a case of sudden and unexpected death in a young woman with a history of multiple sclerosis and ankylosing spondylitis who was found dead after constipation, abdominal pain and bloating. At the autopsy the opening of the abdomen showed a largely distended stomach full of secretions. This condition is a rare disorder of unknown cause and pathogenesis, it is related to many clinical situations. The disorder has considerable mortality and the finding in the autopsy table is pathognomonic.
