Article Abstract
Unlabelled: Killian-Jamieson diverticulum (KJD) is a rare esophageal diverticulum that arises from the anterolateral wall of the proximal cervical esophagus in the Killian-Jamieson space. Although rare presentations include dysphagia, globus sensation, or a suspected thyroid nodule, it is often asymptomatic. Treatment is indicated only in symptomatic cases. We report a 55-year-old female who had long-standing heartburn and presents now with dysphagia, weight loss, and anemia. Imaging and upper endoscopy revealed peptic stricture and an associated KJD. She underwent serial endoscopic dilatation of the peptic stricture and was symptomatically better afterwards. She is currently doing well on follow-up.

A real-world study of balloon dilation vs. self-expandable metal stents for benign gastric outlet obstruction.

Background: Uncovered self-expanding metal stents (SEMS) are generally utilized for malignant gastric outlet obstruction (GOO), while fully covered, retrievable SEMS can be placed for benign GOO as an alternative to surgical treatment. In this real-world study, balloon dilation and SEMS were used to treat benign GOO.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the safety and efficacy of these two methods in benign GOO.

() is an uncommon gastric pathogen increasingly recognized for its role in gastrointestinal diseases. Unlike (), is rarely detected and often overlooked. It is typically associated with milder pathological features, including less neutrophilic activity, reduced mononuclear infiltration, and endoscopic signs of chronic gastritis without erosions or ulcers.

A 68-year-old female with a history of small cell carcinoma of the lung and peptic ulcer disease presented for evaluation of dysphagia after undergoing radiation and chemotherapy. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) revealed a radiation-induced esophageal stricture and incidentally a "double pylorus (DP)" with an adjacent similar opening cephalad to the pylorus. There was no evidence of perforation or traumatic injury leading to this finding and upon intubation, both openings led to the duodenal bulb that appeared to be normal.

Benign duodenal stenosis is most commonly seen as a complication of peptic ulcer disease. Medical treatments include acid-blocking agents and eradication of infection. While endoscopic balloon dilatation is an effective treatment modality, frequent dilations and ultimately surgical repair are often needed for refractory cases.

The combined antegrade and retrograde endoscopic rendezvous technique effectively restores patency for esophageal short-segment obstructing strictures (<3 cm). However, long-segment strictures typically require complex surgery, with endoscopic management rarely reported. We report a 44-year-old man with a 9 cm esophageal obstruction due to peptic stricture who was at high risk of esophageal resection due to severe cardiac disease and prior abdominal surgeries.
