[Gastric ruptures caused by diving accidents. Apropos of 2 cases. Review of the literature].
Underwater diving was responsible for gastric rupture in two cases seen personally and five cases of total gastric rupture reported in the literature. The various possible mechanisms for onset of this rupture are envisaged, the diagnosis of this rare accident being established from the existence of a large pneumoperitoneum. Emergency laparotomy allows suture of wound and ensures recovery.
