Abstract
Background: Hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (HPS) in adults is rare, often diagnosed late due to nonspecific symptoms.
Objective: We report a case of adult HPS secondary to chronic gastritis with helicobacter pylori and update the literature with recent publications.
Case: A 39-year-old man presented with vomiting, weight loss, and dyspepsia. Endoscopy and CT excluded malignancy. After failed endoscopic dilation, laparoscopic distal gastrectomy with Roux-en-Y reconstruction was performed. Outcome was favorable.
Conclusion: Adult HPS should be included in the differential diagnosis of gastric outlet obstruction. Surgery remains the definitive therapy, while less invasive options such as botulinum toxin and G-POEM are emerging.
