    Summary

    Diagnosing a retained gastric antrum, a complication after gastric surgery, is crucial for managing recurrent ulcers. Radiographic and isotopic imaging effectively identify this condition, aiding in appropriate patient treatment.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Radiology
    • Nuclear Medicine

    Background:

    • Recurrent peptic ulceration after gastric surgery, specifically subtotal gastric resection and gastrojejunostomy, can indicate complications.
    • A retained gastric antrum is a recognized, though less common, cause of such post-operative ulcer recurrence.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a case of retained gastric antrum.
    • To highlight diagnostic methods for identifying a retained gastric antrum in patients with post-surgical peptic ulcer disease.

    Main Methods:

    • A case study approach was used.
    • Diagnostic techniques included radiographic upper gastrointestinal series with specific attention to the afferent loop.
    • Isotopic imaging utilizing intravenous injection of 99mTc pertechnetate was employed.

    Main Results:

    • The case successfully confirmed the presence of a retained gastric antrum.
    • Both radiographic and isotopic techniques were effective in identifying the retained gastric antrum.
    • The findings underscore the utility of these methods in clinical practice.

    Conclusions:

    • Patients experiencing chronic, recurrent peptic ulceration post-gastric resection require thorough investigation.
    • An adequate upper gastrointestinal series with afferent loop visualization is essential.
    • 99mTc pertechnetate scintigraphy offers a valuable, noninvasive adjunct for diagnosing retained gastric antrum.
