    A double pylorus (DP) is a derived or acquired rare endoscopic finding characterized by the presence of two openings from the stomach antrum to the duodenal bulb.

    We describe the case of an acquired DP which was caused by the penetration of the antral ulcer into the duodenal bulb.

    The auxiliary channel connects the prepyloric antrum of the front wall with the bulb of the duodenum.

    The bridge between the double pylorus disappeared after 14 months of follow-up, making a large joint pylorus.

    Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, acetylsalicylic acid, anticoagulant drugs, and Helicobacter pylori infection become risk factors for acquired DP.
