We report a case of Bouveret's Syndrome (gastric outlet obstruction by gallstone) and gallstone emesis, both of which are very rare, in a 77-year old Ghanaian woman. Diagnosis depends on high index of suspicion and confirmation with endoscopy. Definitive treatment consist of enterotomy plus stone
The authors present a case of an infant who was treated for recurrent vomiting following pyloromyotomy. Gastroscopic examination showed a polypoid tumour of 4-5 mm in diameter located at the antral region. The patient recovered following re-pyloromyotomy.
A 67 year old woman was admitted with a three week history of vomiting, having become increasingly confused for three days. Investigations revealed deranged serum biochemistry consistent with a combination of a diabetic non-ketotic hyperosmolar state and a metabolic alkalosis consistent with gastric
BACKGROUND
Pyloric atresia (PA) is a rare condition, and may be misdiagnosed and especially confused for duodenal atresia pre-operatively. We looked for clues to avoiding pre-operative misdiagnosis and hence allow the best neonatal medical and surgical management.
METHODS
A retrospective case-note
BACKGROUND
Gallstone ileus accounts for 1% to 4% of cases of mechanical bowel obstruction, but may be responsible for up to 25% of cases in older age groups. In non-iatrogenic cases, gallstone migration occurs after formation of a biliary-enteric fistula. In fewer than 10% of patients with gallstone
Eosinophilic enterocolitis is a rare condition representing the least frequent manifestation of eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders. We report a 49-year-old man who presented with abdominal pain, diarrhea, and intractable vomiting for 2 weeks. Abdominal computed tomography demonstrated gastric
OBJECTIVE
The incidence of peptic ulcer-induced gastric outlet obstruction is constantly declining. The aim of this study was to present our results in the treatment of gastric outlet obstruction with highly selective vagotomy and gastrojejunostomy.
METHODS
This retrospective clinical study included
Upper gastrointestinal symptoms like vomiting, abdominal pain, abdominal distention may be caused by many conditions like complicated peptic/duodenal ulcer, gastritis or hiatal hernia. However, these symptoms are uncommonly produced by superior mesenteric artery (SMA) syndrome. SMA syndrome is
Idiopathic hypertrophic pyloric stenosis is by far the most common cause of gastric outlet obstruction (GOO) in young infants, with more than 90% of cases presenting between 3 and 10 weeks after birth. While cases of late onset pyloric stenosis beyond infancy have been reported, the BACKGROUND
Here, we present a case of gastric outlet obstruction due to focal nodular hyperplasia of the liver.
METHODS
A 23-year-old female presented to our emergency clinic with nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. Endoscopy showed that the prepyloric region of the stomach was externally
BACKGROUND
Nausea, vomiting and intolerance to oral intake are usually the first presenting symptoms of gastric outlet obstruction, which not only cause malnutrition and increases chances of aspiration pneumonia but also greatly impair the quality of life. Self expandable metallic stents (SEMS) are
Hyperplastic polyps are the most common polypoidal lesions of the stomach showing a varied presentation. They may be asymptomatic; however, occasionally they can cause anaemia and gastric outlet obstruction. Malignant transformation is a serious complication associated with such polyps. We present
BACKGROUND
Foveolar cell hyperplasia (FCH) has been reported as a rare cause of persistent gastric outlet obstruction in patients with infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (IHPS), which, if present, requires excision of the gastric foveolar folds to resolve the persistent obstruction. This is a
Bouveret's syndrome, cholecystoduodenal fistula with gastric outlet obstruction secondary to an impacted gallstone, is a rare but serious complication of cholelithiasis. We report the case of a 69-year-old woman who presented with epigastric pain and vomiting in whom cross-sectional imaging revealed
