Abstract

An 88-year-old man was referred to our hospital with a complaint of abdominal pain. Abdominal computed tomography (CT) revealed retroperitoneal free air, and a diagnosis of duodenal perforation was established. On upper gastrointestinal endoscopic examination, a press-through package (PTP) was found in the third portion of the duodenum. The PTP was removed endoscopically, and the perforated portion of the duodenum was 15mm in size. The perforated portion was closed completely with an over-the-scope clip.

There have been few reports on duodenal perforation due to PTP, and no report that was treated conservatively and able to avoid surgery. The OTSC may be useful for treatment of duodenal perforation.
