A 59-year-old woman with advanced cervical carcinoma presented to us with intractable vomiting, 8 weeks after receiving cisplatin chemotherapy. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed mild duodenitis and an obstructive adhesion in the distal duodenum (Figure [1]) The adhesion was disrupted by the passage of the endoscope and the patient’s symptoms promptly resolved.
