The authors present their evidence for considering torsion of the stomach as a cause for recurrent vomiting in infancy. Since their interest in this possibility was aroused, it has been encountered with about the same frequency as congenital pyloric stenosis. Normally the stomach is fixed at the cardia and the pylorus, and the remainder is suspended freely by the hepatogastric ligament. The authors describe other anatomic relationships which may permit the stomach to be twisted on its longitudinal axis. It is postulated that the twisting may delay gastric emptying, interfere with peristalsis, or perhaps disturb the circulation of the stomach. Diagrams from post-mortem material are provided, illustrating this possibility, and roentgenograms interpreted on this basis are shown. The characteristic symptoms attributed to this condition are vomiting, beginning soon after birth, often projectile, usually occurring daily, and not always immediately after feeding. The diagnosis was made in 54 infants and children, ranging in age from 1 day to 3 years. This number was accumulated in a period of 6 years. In no case was it necessary to resort to surgery, and the symptoms ceased immediately or were much improved when the patient was placed prone, with the upper part of the body lowered, or, alternatively, merely placed on the right side. The condition is said to be well known in adults, but only one reference has been found in the pediatric literature.

Peptone, acid, and hyperosmolal saline delay gastric emptying in conscious gastric fistula rats. We have now studied the emptying of these solutions in animals pretreated with capsaicin to lesion small diameter primary afferents and in rats with both a gastric and duodenal cannula. In capsaicin-treated rats, hyperosmolal saline did not significantly inhibit gastric emptying, whereas the inhibitory action of acid and peptone was reversed but not abolished. In control rats, the action of peptone was inhibited by the selective cholecystokinin antagonist L364,718, but in capsaicin-treated rats, L364,718 enhanced the action of peptone in delaying gastric emptying. In rats with a duodenal cannula approximately 5 cm from the pylorus, intragastric peptone or hyperosmolal solutions only delayed emptying when the duodenal cannula was closed; in contrast, intragastric acid inhibited gastric emptying when the duodenal cannula was open or closed. The results suggest 1) that all three test meals delay emptying by mechanisms depending at least in part on afferent neurons; 2) peptone delays emptying by at least two mechanisms: one is mediated by cholecystokinin A-type receptors and afferent neurons, and the other requires neither these receptors nor small diameter afferents; and 3) acid, but not peptone or hyperosmolal saline, regulates emptying by an action localized to the stomach or proximal duodenum. The results suggest that there are several different reflex pathways by which liquid test meals act to delay gastric emptying.
