Abstract

Congenital antral webs are quite rare and easily overlooked or misdiagnosed. We report the case of a five-year-old boy who presented with symptoms of gastric outlet obstruction for four years; his condition was misdiagnosed twice as pyloric ulcer. Detailed gastroscopy revealed a congenital antral web. The stricture was successfully treated with endoscopic balloon dilatation without surgery.
