The natural history of the double pylorus

V Hegedus et al. Radiology. 1978 Jan.

Abstract

A study of 11 patients with "double pylorus" revealed that a second channel between the gastric antrum and the duodenal bulb is the result of ulcer penetration. The fistula can be a sign of spontaneous recovery from ulcerative disease; the fistula occurred in conjunction with clinical improvement in the majority of the patients. The advantages of radiological vs. endoscopic diagnostic procedures are discussed.
