A Rare Cause of Recurrent Abdominal Pain

Abstract

A 30-year-old man presented with a nine-months history of repetitive abdominal pain simulating dyspepsia.  Nine months before presentation, a local physician saw him, and he performed upper gastrointestinal endoscopy for him, and was diagnosed as a case of mild gastritis with oral omeprazole, but without any benefit. So the patient was seen at another center and was evaluated by abdominal computerized scan (CT scan) and colonoscopy which both of them were normal. The patient was evaluated and treated also by psychiatrist as a case of functional disease.
