Hourglass, an early device for measuring intervals of time. It is also known as a sandglass or a log glass when used in conjunction with the common log for ascertaining the speed of a ship. It consists of two pear-shaped bulbs of glass, united at their apexes and having a minute passage formed between them. A quantity of sand (or occasionally mercury) is enclosed in the bulbs, and the size of the passage is so proportioned that this media will completely run through from one bulb to another in the time it is desired to measure—e.g., an hour or a minute. Here we are reporting a case on stomach which is shaped f a sand glass. Stomach is a muscular bag like structure of alimentary canal lies between the esophagus and the small intestine. Shape and position of the stomach may vary without any pathological or physiological disturbance. Variant shapes may be congenital or acquired in later stage of life. In the present case the stomach exhibited distinct pouches. The two pouches were formed due to the presence of an unusually deep notch at the greater curvature. Both the pouches communicated with the distal end of the esophagus. This variation is possibly of congenital origin and may lead to radiological misinterpretations.

We report here atypical case of hourglass stomach. In the present case the stomach exhibited distinct pouches. The two pouches were formed due to the presence of an unusually deep notch at the greater curvature. Both the pouches communicated with the distal end of the esophagus.
