Duodenal hematoma. A mechanical cause for enterogastric reflux in cholescintigraphy.
Enterogastric reflux occurs in normal and abnormal conditions. When pronounced, it is a nonspecific indicator of pathology. There are relatively few published reports discussing enterogastric reflux as a prominent finding on cholescintigraphy. A unique case of pronounced enterogastric reflux from an obstructing duodenal hematoma is presented.
