Case report demonstrates total gastrectomy effectively resolves gastric outlet obstruction in juvenile polyposis syndrome, highlighting surgical intervention for severe gastric involvement.
Juvenile polyposis syndrome is a condition distinguished by numerous hyperproliferative polyps that can affect the entire gastrointestinal tract, though they are uncommon in the stomach. We report a rare case of a 70-year-old woman with a three-year history of epigastric pain and severe bloating who was referred to our department for gastric outlet obstruction due to massive gastric juvenile polyps also causing gastroparesis. The patient was successfully treated with a total gastrectomy.
