[Diverticulum of the stomach in children. Apropos of a case of congenital diverticulum].
We describe a patient with a large diverticulum of the gastric fundus disclosed by an episode of epigastric pain. Hematemesis occurred, requiring surgical removal of the diverticulum. Gastric diverticula are uncommon embryologic anomalies that are usually asymptomatic. Surgical treatment is necessary if a complication develops.
