[Postbulbar duodenal ulcer. A rare cause of icterus].
Post bulbar location of a duodenal ulcer is a rare condition associated with a greater than normal incidence of complications. Bleeding is a major problem, but also perforation, strictures, choledochoduodenal- and pancreaticoduodenal fistulas are found as complications of post bulbar duodenal ulcers. In spite of the close relation of the second part of the duodenum to the common bile duct, jaundice is remarkably rare with a prevalence of about 0.14%. We present a case of benign jaundice caused by a juxtapapillary duodenal ulcer treated by temporary biliary stenting and medical anti-ulcer treatment.
