A rare case of double pylorus in a 55-year-old man with epigastric pain was identified. This condition, featuring two stomach-to-duodenum openings, was linked to a chronic duodenal ulcer.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Anatomy

Background:

  • Congenital anomalies of the gastroduodenal junction are uncommon.
  • Understanding anatomical variations is crucial for diagnosing gastrointestinal disorders.

Observation:

  • A 55-year-old male presented with postprandial epigastric pain and vomiting.
  • Barium meal imaging indicated two distinct openings between the stomach and duodenum.

Findings:

  • Endoscopic examination confirmed a double pylorus, a rare anatomical variation.
  • A chronic duodenal ulcer was present, associated with the secondary pyloric opening.
  • The findings suggest the second pyloric channel may be an acquired condition.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of advanced imaging in identifying rare gastrointestinal anomalies.

  • Accurate diagnosis of double pylorus is essential for effective management of associated complications like ulcers.
  • Further investigation may clarify the pathogenesis of acquired secondary pyloric channels.
