[A case of Zollinger-Ellison syndrome successfully treated with an H+-K+ ATPase inhibitor].
A case of Zollinger-Ellison syndromes in a fifty year-old male that was successfully treated with a H+-K+ ATPase inhibitor (Omeprazol) is reported. The patient underwent a partial gastrectomy in 1984, but had been suffering from multiple refractory stomal and jejunal ulcers after the operation. In 1987, hypergastrinemia (760 pg/ml) was detected, and the presence of gastrinomas in the pancreatic head accompanied by a multiple liver metastasis was subsequently confirmed by CT-angiography and by the gastrin level detected in percutaneous, transhepatic, portal venous samples. A secretin provocation test proved to be negative, and the ulcers resisted the H2-receptor antagonists, but the patient was successfully cured shortly after the administration of an H+-K+ ATPase inhibitor.
