Acute gastric dilatation: An incidental finding in a meckel study
Özet
A Meckel study was performed in a patient with melena who at the same time had a peritoneal catheter for dialysis because of renal failure. There was no pathological or abnormal accumulation of Tc-99m pertechnetate in the abdomen, except for the stomach where gastric dilatation was observed. This incidental finding of gastric dilatation which was thought to be a result of irritation of the peritoneal cavity, disappeared 24 hours after the peritoneal catheter was removed.
