Uncommon congenital antral web misdiagnosed twice as a pyloric ulcer: successful treatment with endoscopic balloon dilatation

Jung-Ping Lu et al. Turk J Pediatr. 2014 Jan-Feb.

Abstract

Congenital antral webs are quite rare and easily overlooked or misdiagnosed. We report the case of a five-year-old boy who presented with symptoms of gastric outlet obstruction for four years; his condition was misdiagnosed twice as pyloric ulcer. Detailed gastroscopy revealed a congenital antral web. The stricture was successfully treated with endoscopic balloon dilatation without surgery.
