Gastric Outlet Obstruction in a Young Adult Due to Annular Pancreas: A Case Report

Abstract

This case report discusses a 25-year-old male diagnosed with gastric outlet obstruction due to annular pancreas, a rare congenital condition more commonly identified in infants but occasionally found in adults. The patient presented with severe nausea, vomiting, and weight loss, and was diagnosed using CT and endoscopy. The case was managed successfully with surgical intervention, highlighting the importance of considering annular pancreas in the differential diagnosis for adults with unexplained gastrointestinal symptoms. This report adds valuable insights into the clinical presentation, diagnosis, and management of this rare condition, emphasizing a multidisciplinary approach for optimal outcomes.
