Prolapsed fundic gastric polyp causing gastroduodenal intussusception and acute pancreatitis

Abstract

An 86-year-old female presented with a 6-month history of recurrent intermittent epigastric abdominal pain, postprandial fullness with nausea, vomiting, anemia and a 15-pound weight loss. A large fundic gastric polyp was intussuscepting into the duodenum causing intermittent compression and obstruction of the ampulla of Vater leading to acute pancreatitis. An overview of the clinical presentation, diagnosis and management of this entity, in addition to a review of the literature is provided.
