    Abstract:
    Duodenal tuberculosis is an uncommon disease. It may be either extrinsic or intrinsic or both. In the extrinsic type there can either be primary duodenal involvement or compression due to enlarged paraduodenal lymph nodes. The clinical presentation can be dyspeptic or obstructive symptoms. The dyspeptic symptoms include epigastric pain, nausea, and occasional vomiting and obstructive symptoms include bilious vomiting frequently after meals, epigastric pain, and generalized abdominal pain. This report describes a young lady presenting with gastric outlet obstruction symptoms due to tuberculous adhesion involving the proximal duodenum.
