title: Annular pancreas - a rare cause of gastric obstruction in an 82-year-old patient.
abstract: Annular pancreas is an uncommon and rarely reported congenital anomaly and thus is rarely suspected. A case is reported of an 82-year-old patient who presented with a 3-month history of nausea and vomiting associated with weight loss who at laparotomy was found to have an annular pancreas.
