Abstract
Congenital anomalies of the stomach include malformations of the stomach and its ligamentous apparatus (volvulus or kink of the stomach), which cause anatomical and topographic abnormalities with a slowdown in the evacuation of gastric contents into the duodenum. A similar clinical picture - vomiting, bloating and abdominal pain - have functional motility disorders of the upper gastrointestinal tract (GIT), such as cascade stomach and acute gastric dilatation. And although the symptoms of such anomalies can occur from the early months of life, diagnosis is often delayed for many years. The article presents an observation of a rare combination of cascade stomach with volvulus, which manifested itself as symptoms of partial high intestinal obstruction in a boy from the neonatal period. The criteria for these diseases are given, the need for instrumental studies, including esophagogastroduodenoscopy, X-ray of the gastrointestinal tract with contrast and diagnostic laparoscopy is shown.
