Summary

Radioscintiscanning techniques and the pattern of serum gastrin responses to secretin and calcium infusions, and to ingestion of a test meal, correctly identified the presence of an isolated retained antrum in a patient with prior gastric surgery. This well documented case report shows that such a diagnostic approach is feasible and practical.
