To report a case of isolated microgastria. To radiologically investigate a case of an 11-year-old boy who presented with a history of intermittent abdominal pain and decreased appetite since childhood. Conventional barium meal fluoroscopic study was performed to evaluate the gastrointestinal tract and appropriate radiographs were obtained. Contrast enhanced multislice multidetector Computed tomography scan was performed on a 128 slice machine. Axial, coronal and sagittal images were obtained. Radiological evaluation revealed; severely deformed stomach contour, moderately dilated esophagus and delayed emptying time. Congenital microgastria is a rare condition, which is usually associated with VACTERL anomalies. However, in this case there was no such association making it isolated condition and increasing its rarity.
