Abstract
A 79-year-old female presented with a 3-week history of dysphagia and vomiting, and an upper abdominal mass which had increased in size over the previous 2 weeks. CT scan showed a partial gastric outlet obstruction secondary to an epigastric hernia. This was assessed further on fluoroscopy, showing the distal stomach in the hernial sac and a delay in gastric emptying. We present the CT and fluoroscopic findings of this rare cause of gastric outlet obstruction.
