Abstract
Gastric outlet obstruction (GOO), apart from hypertrophie pyloric stenosis, is a rare
condition in childhood. It may be primary or associated to various mucosal webs. We
herein report the case of a symptomatic antral mucosal web in a 16-year old girl who
had for years received medical treatment without result. After resection of the antral
diaphragm, she remained symptomatic and eventually underwent pyloroplasty. This
latter procedure was fully-efficient and the child remains well after 8 months. This case
highlights in our opinion the importance of pyloroplasty in the management of what-
ever the type GOO.
