  <dc:description>Abstract

Gastric diverticula are usually asymptomatic. When symptoms surface, they are mostly upper abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting, while dyspepsia is less common. In this case, there was determined as an incidental of gastric diverticula that was managed by medical treatment. 70-year-old male came to our clinic complaining chronic epigastric pain and dyspepsia, with no known co-morbidities. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy and tomography were performed at diagnosis. Medical treatment (proton pump inhibitor) was started and followed because the gastric diverticulum was 2 cm below. The patient is still under follow-up and has no clinical findings.

Özet

Gastrik divertiküller genellikle asemptomatiktir. Semptomlar ortaya çıktığında, çoğunlukla üst karın ağrısı, bulantı ve kusma olurken, dispepsi daha az görülür. Bu olguda da tıbbi tedavi ile yönetilen bir gastrik divertikül insidental olarak saptanmıştır. 70 yaşında erkek hasta bilinen bir morbiditesi olmayan kronik epigastrik ağrı ve dispepsi şikayeti ile kliniğimize başvurdu. Tanıda, özofagogastroduodenoskopi ve tomografi yapıldı. Gastrik divertikül, 2 cm altında olduğundan medikal tedaviye (proton pompa inhibitörü) başlandı ve takip edildi. Hasta halen takip edilmekte ve klinik bulgusu da bulunmamaktadır.</dc:description>
