Double Pylorus: An Uncommon Endoscopic Finding

Abstract

Fistulas that occur between the stomach and duodenum give the appearance of a double pylorus. This is a rare endoscopic finding and it can be either congenital or acquired as in most of the cases which occurs as a complication of peptic ulcer disease and less frequently as a complication of gastric malignancy. In this report we present the endoscopic findings of two patients with double pylorus one patient occuring as a result of peptic ulcer disease and the other one is resulting from gastric malignancy.
