Barium meal appearance simulating superficial ulceration
Clinical Radiology
|July 1, 1977
Abstract:
Five cases of diffuse gastric spiculation seen on single contrast barium meal examination are reported. This appearance may spuriously suggest superficial mucosal ulceration in cases in which no evidence of this is found endoscopically or histologically. This radiological appearance may be due to filling of the grooves between the areae gastricae and may thus represent a normal anatomical variant.
