Chronic granulomatous disease with gastric antral narrowing.
Marked narrowing of the gastric antrum produced vomiting in a boy with chronic granulomatous disease; the antral stenosis resolved after five months of medical management. A review of the seven previously reported cases indicates that this uncommon lesion may be self-limited and should be given an exhaustive trial of nonsurgical therapy, in view of the high morbidity of surgery in these children. Antibiotics may speed resolution.
