  • Title: Uncommon congenital antral web misdiagnosed twice as a pyloric ulcer: successful treatment with endoscopic balloon dilatation.
    Author: Lu JP, Huang Y, Wu J, Chen SY.
    Journal: Turk J Pediatr; 2014; 56(1):100-2. PubMed ID: 24827957.
    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.
