Özet
ABSTRACT
Vomiting of infants may result from an ineffi caciously functioning
gastroesophageal junction or it may be associated with numerous
serious diseases. Segmental bulbus dilatation of duodenum is a
very rare gastrointestinal system pathology that can trigger vomiting by causing either motility disorder or gastroesophageal refl ux.
In the case here presented, endoscopic examination showed a severely dilated bulbus duodeni with decreased motility. In contrast
with the previous cases reported in literature, the condition was
treated medically with success.
Key words: dilatation; duodenum; endoscopy; gastrointestinal; infant;
