    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Gastroenterology

    Background:

    • Pyloric antral mucosal webs are congenital anomalies causing gastric outlet obstruction.
    • Literature on these webs is limited, necessitating further clinical reporting.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review existing literature on pyloric antral mucosal webs.
    • To report on a series of patients diagnosed and treated at Mayo Clinic.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of pyloric antral mucosal webs.
    • Retrospective analysis of seven Mayo Clinic patients with this condition.

    Main Results:

    • Four patients experienced significant obstructive symptoms attributed to mucosal webs.
    • Surgical confirmation of the diagnosis and varied surgical procedures yielded excellent results.

    Conclusions:

    • Pyloric antral mucosal webs, though rare, are a treatable cause of gastric outlet obstruction.
    • Surgical management is effective in resolving obstructive symptoms associated with these webs.
