It refers to an excessively long-blind end of the alimentary limb, usually at the gastrojejunal (GJ) junction, and to a lesser extent, can occur at the jejunojejunal (JJ) junction, that may cause symptoms including abdominal pain, regurgitation, nausea, vomiting and reflux. However, its diagnosis can be challenging and misleading.
