Double pylorus in cirrhosis

Abinash Subedi et al. Proc (Bayl Univ Med Cent). .

Abstract

Double pylorus is an uncommon clinical condition that can be acquired or congenital. Most acquired cases arise as a complication of peptic ulcer disease and less commonly from other conditions such as gastric malignancy. We present a case of double pylorus in a cirrhotic patient diagnosed during surveillance endoscopy for esophageal varices.

Keywords: Cirrhosis; congenital; duodenum; endoscopy; pylorus.
