Chronic abdominal pain
Ankit Shrivastav, Jyotyrmoy Pal
A 25-year-old female from a rural area presented to our hospital with symptoms of abdominal pain and discomfort lasting 1 year. Physical examination and all routine investigations were normal. Ultrasonography of the abdomen and an upper gastrointestinal endoscopy were done; findings were also within normal limits. The symptoms persisted with the patient requiring anti-spasmodic drugs intermittently. A barium meal follow-through was performed (Figures 1 and 2).
