Isolated Crohn's disease of the gastroduodenum: a case report.
We report a case of isolated Crohn's disease in the gastroduodenum. A 33-year-old man was hospitalized due to epigastralgia. Endoscopic and double-contrast radiographic studies revealed edematous gastroduodenal mucosa with a deep, undermining ulceration in the gastric antrum, which changed after a short interval into a typical "cobblestoned" appearance. A gastrectomy was performed due to antral narrowing, and Crohn's disease was histologically confirmed. Our objective was to reveal the change from a deep, undermining ulceration to a typical "cobblestoned" appearance using a double-contrast barium study.
