Zusammenfassung

Das Rett-Syndrom geht mit gastrointestinalen Motilitätsstörungen und dem Verschlucken von Luft einher. Dies kann zur Magendilatation oder sogar selten zur Magenruptur führen. Ein 5 Jahre altes Mädchen mit Rett-Syndrom und akuter Bronchopneumonie verstarb plötzlich und unerwartet. Die rechtsmedizinische Sektion ergab eine letale Ruptur des Magens ohne Peritonitis mit 650 ml Flüssigkeit und Gas im Abdomen. Todesursache war ein neurogener Schock bei Magenperforation. Grund war eine lokale Nekrose der Magenwand. Die Diagnose eines akut lebensbedrohlichen Notfalls geistig retardierter Patienten kann erheblich erschwert sein.
