PY - 2011 T2 - Rudolph's Pediatrics, 22e AB - Congenital microgastria is a rare anomaly that is characterized by failure of the primitive foregut to differentiate into a stomach during weeks 4 to 8 of gestation, thus resulting in a small tubular stomach usually associated with megaesophagus and incomplete gastric rotation (Fig. 400-1). Isolated microgastria is uncommon,1 with associated anomalies such as asplenia, situs inversus, limb hypoplasia, intestinal malrotation, laryngotracheal clefts, and cardiac abnormalities being common.2,3 Only about 60 cases have been described.
