Abstract

Stomach is a muscular bag like structure of alimentary canal lies between the esophagus and the small intestine. Shape and position of the stomach may vary without any pathological or physiological disturbance. Variant shapes may be congenital or acquired in later stage of life. We report here atypical case of hourglass stomach. In the present case the stomach exhibited 2 distinct pouches. The two pouches were formed due to the presence of an unusually deep notch at the greater curvature. Both the pouches communicated with the distal end of the esophagus. This variation is possibly of congenital origin and may lead to radiological misinterpretations.
