Zusammenfassung
Die emphysematöse Gastritis ist eine seltene Form der Magenphlegmone, hervorgerufen
durch die Invasion gasbildender Bakterien in die Magenwand. Dieses Einheitsbild wurde
erstmals von Fränkel im Jahr 1889 beschrieben. Wir berichten über den Fall eines 58-jährigen
Patienten mit Niereninsuffizienz im Endstadium, der während des letzten Jahres mittels
Hämodialyse behandelt wurde. Er wurde wegen Unterbauchschmerzen aufgenommen. Das diagnostische
Verfahren bestätigte eine emphysematöse Gastritis und akute Cholezystitis. Es kam
zu einer akuten Bauchfellentzündung, die eine Notlaparotomie verlangte. Während des
Eingriffs wurde die nekrotische Gallenblase entfernt. Der Patient starb am Tag darauf
wegen mehrfachen Organversagens und septischen Schocks. Luft in der Magenwand ist
ein seltener Befund mit einer breiten Differenzialdiagnose. Nach der Fachliteratur
ist die emphysematöse Gastritis in der Regel eine tödliche Krankheit.
Abstract
Emphysematous gastritis is a rare form of phlegmonous gastritis caused by invasion
of the stomach wall by gas-forming bacteria. This clinical entity was first described
by Fraenkel in 1889. The authors report the case of a 58-year-old patient with end-stage
renal failure under treatment with hemodialysis for the past year. He was admitted
on account of pain in the lower abdomen. During the diagnostic procedure, emphysematous
gastritis and acute cholecystitis were confirmed. An acute abdomen developed and an
emergency laparotomy was performed. During the procedure, the necrotic gallbladder
was removed. The patient died on the following day due to multiorgan failure and septic
shock. According to the literature, emphysematous gastritis is generally a fatal disease.
Air in the wall of the stomach is a rare finding with a broad differential diagnosis.
