Commonly encountered complications of duodenal ulcer [DU] are bleeding and perforation, while gastric outlet obstruction [GOO] is uncommon. Penetrating duodenal ulcer leading to Choledochoduodenal Fistula [CDF] or Common Bile Duct [CBD] Stricture, or pancreatic duct obstruction are as such extremely rare. We report a case of an unheard trio of complications of chronic duodenal ulcer gastric outlet obstruction, Choledochoduodenal fistula and common bile duct stricture [Thatte Syndrome] successfully treated with a symptom-free 12 years' follow-up, with a brief review of literature.
