Resolution of Fundic Gland Polyposis following Laparoscopic Magnetic Sphincter Augmentation and Subsequent Cessation of Proton Pump Inhibitors
نویسندگان
چکیده
Gastric polyps occur from a variety of sources and are found commonly on upper endoscopy. We present the case of a 49-year-old female who presented for evaluation for antireflux surgery with a history of fundic gland polyposis who required twice-daily proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) for control of her gastric reflux. After verifying that she met criteria for surgery, she underwent an uncomplicated laparoscopic magnetic sphincter augmentation placement. With the cessation of PPIs following surgery, the fundic gland polyposis resolved. Fundic gland polyps may occur sporadically or within certain syndromes, such as familial adenomatous polyposis. Multiple possible inciting factors exist, including the use of PPIs. This is the first reported case of the resolution of numerous fundic gland polyps following the completion of laparoscopic magnetic sphincter augmentation.

Proton pump inhibitor-induced fundic gland polyposis
A 42-year-old woman presented with recurrent acid regurgitation and heartburn. On initial upper endoscopy, multiple mucosal breaks were seen in the lower esophagus, but no abnormalities were observed in the stomach (Fig. 1). The patient took proton pump inhibitors for consistent reflux symptoms and reflux esophagitis. On follow-up endoscopy 4 years later, confluence of mucosal breaks and stenos...

A case of massive fundic gland polyposis (MFGPsis) in a female patient receiving protracted proton-pump inhibitor (PPI) medication is described. At gross examination the majority of the polyps were overlapping, confluent, some of them having a "cauliflower-like" configuration. The fundic gland polyps (FGP) arose in the gastric acid secretory mucosa. The confluence of these polyps impeded their ...

BACKGROUND This study was undertaken to evaluate our clinical experience during a 6-year period with an implantable device that augments the lower esophageal sphincter for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). The device uses magnetic sphincter augmentation (MSA) to strengthen the antireflux barrier. STUDY DESIGN In a single-center, prospective case series, 100 consecutive patients underwen...
متن کاملPremalignant Potential of Fundic Gland Polyps-associated Familial Polyposis Syndromes
Fundic gland polyps (FGPs) are the most common type of gastric polyps (up to 50%). They are found in up to 0.8-1.9 % of the general population, and in 40-84 % of the patients suffering from familial polyposis syndromes. They might be sporadic or associated to polyposis syndromes. When the former, they should be considered exclusively benign lesions, and possibly related to the chronic use of pr...

We describe the clinical scenario of a young male with history of non ulcer dyspepsia who had endoscopic evidence of gastric polyposis in antral area. The polyps disappeared four months after proton pump inhibitors were stopped. Proton pump inhibitors have been linked to gastric fundal polyposis and not antral gland polyposis. This is the first report originating from an Asian country describin...
