endoscopic pyloroplasty for severe gastric outlet obstruction due to alkali ingestion in a child
Authors
abstract
a common belief is that alkali ingestion causes severe esophageal damage and limited gastric injury due to the buffering action of acid. gastric injury has been observed in patients who ingested alkali. gastric outlet obstruction (goo) secondary to caustic ingestion occurs due to fibrosis after resolution of the acute injury and inflammation, most commonly 6 to 12 weeks after initial ingestion. the traditional treatment for goo related to ingestion of corrosive agents is surgery. experience with endoscopic balloon dilation of corrosive-induced goo is limited in children. this is the first report of endoscopic pyloroplasty in a child with goo due to caustic alkalis ingestion that was treated with balloon dilation (using tts balloon ranging from 6-15 mm) in iran. four dilation sessions were required for symptomatic relief of dysphagia. after one year of follow up, weight gain was normal.

Gastric bezoars are rare and are usually found incidentally. They can sometimes cause severe complications, including gastric outlet obstruction (GOO) or gastric pneumatosis (GP). In cases of bezoars with GP, the optimal treatment strategy has not yet been defined.

Here, we report the first pediatric case of gastric cancer presenting with gastric outlet obstruction. Upper endoscopy revealed a markedly thickened antral mucosa occluding the pylorus and a clean base ulcer 1.5 cm × 2 cm at the lesser curvature of the stomach. The narrowed antrum and p...
