| description | A nonverbal woman with cerebral palsy and a chronic gastrostomy tube presented with nonbilious vomiting of tube feeds and abdominal pain. Initial work-up showed elevated lipase; however, computed tomography imaging revealed duodenal obstruction from gastrostomy tube migration as the cause of her symptoms. This case represents alternative causes to hyperlipasemia, such as bowel obstruction. |
