Study Notes
Gastroschisis and Omphalocele
- Gastroschisis is a condition characterized by a visible peristalsis and an olive-like mass in the abdomen
- Omphalocele is a condition characterized by a visible peristalsis and an olive-like mass in the abdomen
Acute Gastritis
- Caused by acidic damage to the stomach mucosa due to an imbalance between mucosal defenses and acidic environment
- Defenses include: • Mucin layer produced by foveolar cells • Bicarbonate secretion by surface epithelium • Normal blood supply
- Risk factors: • Severe burn (Curling ulcer) • NSAIDs (decreased PGE) • Heavy alcohol consumption • Chemotherapy • Increased intracranial pressure (Cushing ulcer) • Shock
- Acid damage results in: • Superficial inflammation • Erosion (loss of superficial epithelium) • Ulcer (loss of mucosal layer)
Chronic Gastritis
- Chronic inflammation of the stomach mucosa
- Divided into two types: • Chronic autoimmune gastritis • Chronic H pylori gastritis
- Chronic autoimmune gastritis: • Due to autoimmune destruction of gastric parietal cells • Associated with antibodies against parietal cells and/or intrinsic factor • Clinical features: • Atrophy of mucosa with intestinal metaplasia • Achlorhydria with increased gastrin levels and antral G-cell hyperplasia • Megaloblastic (pernicious) anemia due to lack of intrinsic factor • Increased risk for gastric adenocarcinoma (intestinal type)
- Chronic H pylori gastritis: • Due to H pylori-induced acute and chronic inflammation • Most common form of gastritis (90%) • Presents with: • Epigastric abdominal pain • Increased risk for ulceration (peptic ulcer disease) • Gastric adenocarcinoma (intestinal type) • MALT lymphoma • Treatment involves triple therapy
Gastric Carcinoma
- Presents late with: • Weight loss • Abdominal pain • Anemia • Early satiety
- Rarely presents as: • Acanthosis nigricans • Leser-Trelat sign
- Spread to lymph nodes can involve: • Left supraclavicular node (Virchow node)
- Distant metastasis most commonly involves: • Liver • Periumbilical region (Sister Mary Joseph nodule) • Other sites
