Abstract
Heterotopic gastric mucosa (HGM) of the small bowel is a congenital disorder with a variable clinical presentation. Reported manifestations are gastrointestinal bleeding, intestinal obstruction or perforation, penetration into adjacent organs, and fistulization. Rarely, failure to thrive (FTT) is the clinical manifestation of HGM. We present the case of a baby girl with FTT due to chronic abdominal pain associated with recurrent episodes of abdominal distention, vomiting, and diarrhea. The cause was found to be HGM in the jejunum. The purpose of this paper is to describe this unusual clinical presentation of jejunal HGM. (C) 2014 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Inc.
