ABSTRACT
Even in this age of effective medical treatment for peptic ulcers, their complications remain the same. Many require prompt surgical intervention. We present an unusual case of postbulbar duodenal ulcer complicated by intramural perforation and abscess formation. Such complications have a high mortality rate because of frequent delays in diagnosis and treatment caused by a lack of peritoneal signs or other specific clinical findings.
