Spontaneous Rupture of the Stomach; Report of Case,

Abstract

Rupture of the stomach is a catastrophic complication which may follow either illness or operative procedure. The complication has been associated with a high mortality rate. Since it has been reported following different types of surgical procedures under general anesthesia, it behooves the oral and maxillofacial surgeon to have a general understanding of the syndrome, its presentation and treatment. A case of spontaneous rupture of the stomach following an oral surgical procedure under general anesthesia is presented and a review of the subject accomplished. (Author)
