The Case of the "Double Pylorus".

A 68-year-old female with a history of small cell carcinoma of the lung and peptic ulcer disease presented for evaluation of dysphagia after undergoing radiation and chemotherapy. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) revealed a radiation-induced esophageal stricture and incidentally a "double pylorus (DP)" with an adjacent similar opening cephalad to the pylorus. There was no evidence of perforation or traumatic injury leading to this finding and upon intubation, both openings led to the duodenal bulb that appeared to be normal. No endoscopic and surgical intervention was offered as patient was asymptomatic.

Abstract

A 68-year-old female with a history of small cell carcinoma of the lung and peptic ulcer disease presented for evaluation of dysphagia after undergoing radiation and chemotherapy. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) revealed a radiation-induced esophageal stricture and incidentally a "double pylorus (DP)" with an adjacent similar opening cephalad to the pylorus. There was no evidence of perforation or traumatic injury leading to this finding and upon intubation, both openings led to the duodenal bulb that appeared to be normal. No endoscopic and surgical intervention was offered as patient was asymptomatic.
