| emphysematous gastritis | <radiology> Rare but severe form of widespread phlegmonous gastritis secondary to, mucosal disruption, ingestion of toxic/corrosive substances (most common), alcohol abuse, trauma, gastric infarction, necrotizing enterocolitis, ulcer X-ray: linear small gas bubbles within grossly thickened wall, may be associated with gas in the portal vein prognosis: leads to cicatrical stenosis, 60-80% mortality (12 Dec 1998) |

| eosinophilic gastritis | <radiology> Eosinophilic infiltration of mucosa, submucosa, and muscularis of small bowel with or without stomach, stomach (almost always limited to antrum): enlarged gastric rugae, cobblestone nodules, polyps (=mucosal type), rigid wall with narrowed antrum/pylorus, bulky inramural mass up to 9 cm (=muscular type), wet stomach, ulcers rare, may have ascites, small bowel (predominantly jejunum), thickening and distortion of folds (=mucosal type), effacement of mucosa and narrowing of lumen (=muscular type), prognosis: tendency to spontaneous remission, treatment: steroids; removal of sensitizing agent (12 Dec 1998) |
