The hypertrophied antral-pyloric fold: CT appearance

R T Harvey et al. Br J Radiol. 1999 May.

Abstract

We report a patient found to have a hypertrophied antral-pyloric fold on barium study, in whom CT demonstrated a smooth soft tissue mass on the anterior wall of the pre-pyloric antrum. When this finding is encountered on CT, a double-contrast upper GI study should be performed as the next diagnostic test. Endoscopy can probably be avoided if the barium study shows the typical findings of a hypertrophied antral-pyloric fold.
