gastric outlet obstruction/fever

Gastric outlet obstruction in adults is usually caused by pyloric stenosis secondary to peptic ulcer disease or malignancy. However, there are few other causes such as a foreign body and external compression due to pseudocyst pancreas. We present a rare aetiology of a large collection of pus in the

BACKGROUND Postcholecystectomy bilomas are relatively uncommon with a reported incidence of about 2.5%, and most often present with right upper quadrant pain and fever within seven days of the operation. There are a number of approaches to the treatment of this uncommon lesion. METHODS The authors

Ectopic pancreas is a congenital developmental anomaly that may be caused by embryologic errors. The pathogenetic details of ectopic pancreas remain unclear, but it has gradually been determined to originate at the gene level. DNA errors during embryological development cause ectopic pancreas.

Congenital antral membrane may become symptomatic early in life or late in childhood. A gastric outlet obstruction was revealed in a 14-month-old girl, previously developing well until 3 days ago, by melaena and recurrent non-bilious vomiting, after administration of a non-steroidal

We report the case of a three year old dystrophic boy who suffered from vomiting, loss of weight and fever. In the history there were several episodes of severe infections which had repeatedly lead to hospitalisation. The cause of the actual disorder was a gastric manifestation of chronic

A 3-year-old girl presented with multiple episodes of vomiting, fever, and hematemesis for the past 2 months. Except for hemoglobin, her rests of the laboratory tests were unremarkable. Her barium X-ray showed absence of the duodenal bulb and the C-loop. Her endoscopy showed deformed stomach with

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the clinical utility of the routine use of postoperative barium swallow to diagnose postoperative complications in patients undergoing open or laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. METHODS A total of 417 consecutive patients undergoing Roux-en-Y gastric bypass at our

BACKGROUND/ PURPOSE: Perforated peptic ulcer (PPU) is still an existing disease that occurs frequently in the 21st century despite of the wide availability of antiulcer medication and Helicobacter eradication. The current study aimed to evaluate the hypothesis that its outcome might be improved by

Introduction: Endoscopic ultrasound-guided gallbladder drainage (EUS-GBD) is an alternative treatment option for patients with acute cholecystitis, especially for those who are unsuitable for cholecystectomy. Recently used luminal

We report a rare case of diffuse tracheo-bronchitis as a complication of Crohn's disease. A young man with a long-standing history of Crohn's enterocolitis initially presented with epigastric pain and melena. Upper endoscopy revealed erythematous, edematous, and friable mucosa with erosions,

Since 1946, 20 men and one woman aged 40 to 76 years (average 57) were operated upon for complications of diospyrobezoars. Shortly after eating persimmons, 11 (52.4%) had severe abdominal cramping, anusea, vomiting, and pyrexia. Twelve of 17 (70.9%) with gastric bezoars had hematemesis or melena

Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD), an inherited disorder of phagocytic leukocyte function, is characterized by recurrent infections with catalase-positive organisms. Gastrointestinal (GI) tract involvement, present in the majority of affected individuals, may be present initially and recurrently,

Prostaglandin E1 (alprostadil) is widely used for maintaining the patency of ductus arteriosus in ductus-dependent congenital heart defects in neonates to improve oxygenation. Among more common side effects are fever, rash, apnoea, diarrhoea, jitteriness, and flushing. More severe side effects are

Gastric tuberculosis is a very rare disease posing a diagnostic challenge to physicians, pathologists and radiologists. It usually occurs in females aged 25 to 45 years. Symptoms include epigastric pain, vomiting, fever, weight loss, upper gastrointestinal (GI) bleed and gastric outlet obstruction.

A 3.5-year-old grossly cachectic female child presenting with recurrent vomiting, fever, abdominal distention, abdominal pain and severe weight loss was evaluated for the cause of severe protein energy malnutrition. Investigation revealed a massively dilated stomach with delayed gastric emptying and
