    Summary

    Adult hypertrophic pyloric stenosis, a rare cause of gastric outlet obstruction, can be diagnosed via gastroscopy. Endoscopic dilatation offers a viable alternative to surgery in select cases.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Gastroenterology

    Background:

    • Adult hypertrophic pyloric stenosis is an uncommon condition leading to gastric outlet obstruction.
    • Its etiology remains largely unknown, complicating diagnosis through traditional methods.

    Observation:

    • Fiberoptic gastroscopy is crucial for diagnosis, revealing a characteristic
    • cervix sign
    • .

    Findings:

    • Two adult patients with hypertrophic pyloric stenosis presented with typical endoscopic findings.
    • One patient underwent distal gastrectomy, while the other achieved adequate relief through endoscopic dilatation alone.

    Implications:

    • Endoscopic dilatation is proposed as a potential primary therapy for suitable adult hypertrophic pyloric stenosis cases.
    • This approach may offer a less invasive treatment option compared to surgical resection.
