Abstract:
Introduction:
Carbonated beverages and puffed foods are popular among young people during leisure and entertainment. However, there have been a few death
cases reported after ingesting large amounts of junk food in a short time.
Case Presentation:
A 34-year-old woman was admitted to the hospital with acute abdominal pain due to a bad mood and consumption of large amounts of carbonated
beverages and puffed foods. Emergency surgery revealed a ruptured dilated stomach combined with severe abdominal infection, and the patient
died after the surgery.
Conclusion:
We should keep in mind the possibility of gastrointestinal perforation in patients with acute abdomen with a history of heavy consumption of
carbonated beverages and puffed foods. We need to evaluate the acute abdomen patients after taking large amounts of carbonated beverages and
puffed foods in combination with symptoms, signs, inflammatory indicators, imaging and other examinations, and the possibility of gastric
perforation needs to be considered, and emergency repair surgery should be arranged.
