Abstract
Diabetic gastroparesis is a chronic functional syndrome caused by diabetes mellitus. Diagnosis is based on symptoms and scintigraphy. The therapeutic options are still limited. A publication has recently described the effectiveness of gastric per oral endoscopic myotomy. We herein present a case of diabetic gastroparesis treated by gastric peroral endoscopic myotomy which extended the submucosal tunnel on the front gastric antral wall instead of the posterior wall.
