A 30-year-old female was seen with symptoms and radiological evidence of gastric outlet obstruction. Endoscopic examination revealed findings suggestive of gastric outlet obstruction with nodularity of the antral mucosa leading to deformity of the pylorus. Endoscopic biopsies from the nodular antral mucosa showed presence of Helicobacter pylori-induced lymphonodular hyperplasia without evidence of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma. Anti-H. pylori therapy resulted in eradication of the H. pylori infection and the signs and symptoms of gastric outlet obstruction. The case demonstrates that H. pylori-induced lymphonodular hyperplasia can also cause gastric outlet obstruction. We believe this is the first such case to be reported.

As the prevalence of childhood obesity continues to rise, there is an increase in demand for temporary and minimally invasive alternatives to bariatric surgery as solutions for addressing pediatric obesity. Intragastric balloon (IGB) placement is an increasingly popular methodology for addressing adult obesity; however, it is not approved for the pediatric population. We describe the case of a 17-year-old adolescent female who underwent IGB placement in Colombia and failed to receive proper follow-up care in the country of insertion resulting in a gastric outlet obstruction.

Gastric outlet obstruction (GOO) is a clinical condition that can arise from both benign and malignant causes, requiring effective management strategies to ensure optimal patient outcomes. Traditionally, open surgical techniques like gastrojejunostomy (GJ) have been the standard treatment, but recent advances in minimally invasive procedures, such as endoscopic ultrasound-guided gastroenterostomy (EUS-GE), offer alternative approaches with potentially reduced morbidity. This systematic review compared the efficacy, safety, and clinical outcomes of endoscopic versus open surgical techniques in managing GOO.

Article Synopsis
- A 78-year-old male patient presented with persistent vomiting due to a rare case of metastatic urinary bladder cancer, which led to gastric outlet obstruction.
- Despite recent follow-up showing no disease recurrence, tests revealed duodenal stenosis and abnormal mesenteric fat swelling, initially misinterpreted as inflammation.
- A laparoscopic exploration confirmed peritoneal carcinomatosis, ultimately identifying urothelial cancer cells, highlighting the need for clinicians to think about metastatic bladder cancer in similar situations.

Endoscopic or fluoroscopic guided naso-enteric placement for stenting and decompression has been used in mechanical enteric limb obstruction after gastrectomy or gastric bypass surgery. However, the use of double naso-enteric tube for treatment of multiple enteric limbs obstruction has not been described to date. We present a 61-year-old female with afferent limb syndrome with concomitant efferent limb obstruction which caused by kinking of anastomosis after loop gastrojejunostomy for benign gastric outlet obstruction.

Background And Aims: Patients with concomitant gastric outlet obstruction (GOO) and biliary obstruction often have limited management options, particularly in the setting of severe debility. We detail the use of EUS guided gastro-duodenal placement of lumen apposing metal stent (LAMS) as a conduit for transduodenal ERCP: EUS-Directed transDuodenal ERCP (EDDE).
Methods: Nine patients that developed GOO with indwelling biliary metal stents or with anticipated biliary stent placement were retrospectively included.
