Kusma, çocukluk çağında sık görülen bir belirtidir. Gastrointestinal sistem hastalıkları gibi sistemik hastalıklarda görülen kusmanın birçok etiyolojik nedeni vardır. İnfantta mide çıkış obstrüksiyonu (MÇO) doğuştan ya da kazanılmış nedenler sonucu gelişebilir. Kazanılmış MÇO infantta nadir olup, peptik hastalık, neoplazm ve kostik alımı sonucu gelişmektedir. MÇO korozif alınıma bağlı gelişen bir komplikasyon ve kusma nedenidir.Karın ağrısı, kusma ve kilo kaybı sebebiyle başvuran 2 yaşında erkek bir olguyu sunuyoruz. Olgunun 3 hafta önce korozif madde içme öyküsü vardı. Hastaneye yatışında kilo kaybına bağlı genel durum bozukluğu dışında fizik muayenesi normaldi. Baryumlu incelemeler de özofagus normal, mide geniş ve mide çıkışı tam kapalı idi. Olgunun değerlendirmesinde tam pilorik tıkanıklık tespit edilerek gastrojejunal anastomoz operasyonu yapıldı.Sonuç olarak, infantta kusmanın bir nedeni olarak korozif alımına bağlı MÇO’nun akılda tutulmasını öneriyoruz. Korozif alım öyküsü olması bu olgularda önemli bir ipucu olabilir.
Vomiting is common symptom in childhood. There are many causes and it can also be seen in systemic pathologies such as gastrointestinal system disorders. Gastric outlet obstruction (GOO) in infancy may result from congenital or acquired causes. Acquired GOO in infancy is a rare condition. The acquired causes of GOO in infants are acid peptic disease, neoplasm and caustic ingestion. GOO is a well-known complication of corrosive ingestion and is a cause of vomiting. We report a male patient who was evaluated first at the age of two years because of abdominal pain, vomiting and weight loss. There was a history accidental ingestion of corrosive substance 3 weeks previously. On admission, his physical examination was normal except the poor general status caused by weight loss. Barium study findings showed a normal esophagus and complete obstruction at the gastric outlet with a dilated stomach. The evaluation revealed complete pyloric obstruction, and gastrojejunal anastomosis was performed. In conclusion, we suggest that GOO due to corrosive ingestion should be considered as a cause of vomiting in infancy. Corrosive ingestion history may be an important clue for these cases
