A Propos Cascade Stomach – A Commentary

Abstract

The clinician does not usually deny the diagnosis of a cascade stomach based on imaging. A specific treatment is rarely necessary, with the exception of initiating therapy for reflux symptoms or dyspepsia. As a result, gastroenterologists are rarely interested in cascade stomach. Occasionally, further features are described in a patient presenting the radiological upper gastroenterological series of this condition. It remains to prove that such unusual symptoms represent coincidental, but non-specific features of the ailment. A patient diagnosed with a cascade stomach, who exhibited heterogeneous upper abdominal complaints, the majority of which are not associated, as a rule, with this condition, is herein reported.
