Mucosal Irregularity on Gastric Contrast Study in a Case of Carmi Syndrome
نویسندگان
چکیده
Carmi syndrome comprises of EB (Epidermolysis Bullosa) and PA (pyloric atresia). We report the radiological finding of mucosal irregularity as seen in upper GI contrast study in the antral region and along the greater curvature in a case of this syndrome. This could act as a clinical tip off for the presence of Carmi syndrome in cases of a solitary PA. It is proposed that in such a case, the PA occurs secondary to an intrauterine complication of EB where sloughing of pyloric mucosa and subsequent fibrosis leads to obstruction of the pyloric canal.

AbstractIntroduction: Hyperplastic polyps of the esophago-gastric junction are seen during endoscopic evaluation of upper gastrointestinal tract. They are usually asymptomatic and discovered accidentally during endoscopic evaluation for other problems. These protrusions are mucosal regenerative response to surrounding mucosal injury. Case: Here we present a 9-year-old boy presenting with abdomi...

Objective(s): Prostaglandins have been shown to mediate the gastro-protective effect of sodium hydrosulfide (NaHS) but effect of NaHS on mRNA expression of prostaglandin E2 receptors (EP1, 3-4; EPs) has not been investigated. Therefore, this study designed to evaluate the effect of NaHS on mRNA expression of EPs receptors in response to mucosal acidification and distention-induced gastric acid ...

The ulcerogenic effect of corticosteroids has always been subject of controversial discussion. In this study, which is a part of another extensive study (the role of neutrophil in induction of gastric mucosal injury by different agents), the effect of prednisolone, as a widely used corticosteroid, on the rat gastric mucosa, was investigated. Prednisolone (1 mg/kg) induced acute mucosal injury (...

Introduction: Cholestasis is impairment of normal bile excretion into the duodenum and classified as mechanical and non mechanical cholestasis. Mechanical Cholestasis presents with increase in bile duct diameter or obstruction in bile duct in an ERCP. Cholestasis leads to different complications. One of these complications is mucosal peptic erosion leading to gastrointestinal bleeding, perfora...
