===Introduction: gastric dilation and gut stasis===
===The difference between gastric dilation and gut stasis===
Gastric stasis must be differentiated from gastric dilation which is usually associated with intestinal obstruction. Gastric dilation develops rapidly, suddenly and unexpectedly, whereas gut stasis develops slowly and insidiously, usually followed by a painful or stressful episode. Note that a moving foreign body could mimic gut stasis except that the stomach is not impacted (stomach may or may not be impacted).
