Tuberculous Duodenal Stenosis: Report of Two Cases

Case Reports in Gastroenterology (2008)

O. Benzekri S. El Mouhadi M. Chourak Sami Boussetta M. El Absi

Duodenal tuberculosis is a rare clinical entity. The authors report and emphasize the lack of special clinical, radiological and endoscopic signs of duodenal tuberculosis. The diagnosis is affirmed, at laparotomy, out of the findings of peritoneal granulations or histology of lymphatic nodes. We report our experience of two cases of duodenal tuberculosis presenting with proximal intestinal obstruction and review the available literature.
