Intragastric balloon (IGB) has been introduced in the 1980's for weight reduction. It can be classified into nonadjustable IGB, such as the BioEnterics Intragastric Balloon (BIB), or newer generation Spatz adjustable balloon system. Late IGB-induced gastric perforation is a rare major complication, presenting as acute abdominal pain weeks to months after its insertion. We herein present a 20-year-old patient, with gastric perforation occurring 10 months after Spatz IGB deployment. The patient underwent a successful endoscopic IGB retrieval and laparoscopic exploration with abdominal lavage. We also review the literature of late IGB-induced gastric perforation.
胃内球囊(IGB)于20世纪80年代被引入用于减重。它可分为不可调节的IGB,如BioEnterics胃内球囊(BIB),或新一代的Spatz可调节球囊系统。晚期IGB诱发的胃穿孔是一种罕见的严重并发症,表现为置入后数周数月出现的急性腹痛。我们在此报告一名20岁患者,在置入Spatz IGB 10个月后发生胃穿孔。该患者成功接受了内镜下IGB取出术及腹腔镜探查和腹腔灌洗。我们还回顾了晚期IGB诱发胃穿孔的文献。
