title: [Incompetence of the sphincter of Oddi in duodenal ulcer disease].
abstract: The association of post-bulbar duodenal scarring and incompetence of the sphincter of Oddi is rare. Radiographic and endoscopic procedures should exclude concomitant neoplastic disease invading the duodenum, and duodenal Crohn's disease. The pancreatico-biliary system should be visualized before attributing ampullar reflux to duodenal ulcer disease. The treatment is that of the primary disease.
