Recurrent vomiting can be a symptom of life-threatening medical or surgical emergencies. It can be rarely caused by an extraluminal pyloric duplication cyst. Early recognition is essential for preventing delays in management and potential complications.

The diagnosis was made through abdominal ultrasound, gastrointestinal endoscopy and abdominal computed tomography scan. |
