title: Complicated total esophagogastric dissociation: case report.
abstract: The Authors describe a case of massive haemorragic gastritis in a child who previously underwent total oesophagogastric dissociation without complementary pyloroplasty. The complication was successfully treated by an emergency resection of the fundus. The Authors believe that the complication was probably related to vagal denervation with consequent gastric stagnation and hypergastrinaemia.
