Gastric outlet obstruction due to extraluminal compression: an unusual etiology

Ascariasis caused by the nematode Ascaris lumbricoides is a very common disorder amongst the Asian population. Adult roundworms are generally found in the intestine. But their agility often takes them through different orifices into ducts and cavities. Hepatobiliary and pancreatic ascariasis (HPA) r...
