from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Classification according to ICD-10
Q40.2 Other specified congenital malformations of the stomach - micro gastric disease
ICD-10 online (WHO version 2019)

The Agastrie from ancient Greek ἀ (ν) - a-, additions , German , negation un-, without (Alpha privativum) ' and ancient Greek γαστήρ gaster , German , stomach' , is a complete absence of the stomach , either as rare extremely congenital malformation or after surgical removal ( gastrectomy ).

The congenital form is based on a disturbance in embryonic development from about the 5th fetal week. As a rule, this disorder is associated with other malformations.

If part of the stomach is still in place, it is called micro gastric gastric disease .

The first description comes from 1987 by the Australian pediatrician SF Dorney and colleagues.

Clinical manifestations, diagnosis and therapy correspond to those described under micro gastric disease.
