Abstract:
An antral web is an extremely rare gastric anomaly that disturbs the gastric outlet. The onset of symptoms will depend on the diameter of the aperture. Obstructive symptoms may not occur when the aperture is >l centimeter in diameter. If the aperture is larger than 1 cm without significant symptoms, conservative treatment is sufficient. A case of an antral web with an ulcer and vomiting in a 7-year-old boy who received ibuprofen for 2 days is presented. The patient became symptom-free after medical treatment.
