Chronic ischemic gastritis: case report of a difficult diagnosis and review of the literature

Endoscopy. 2006 May;38(5):529-32. doi: 10.1055/s-2006-925228.

Abstract

Chronic ischemic gastritis is an unusual entity that is rarely distinguished from other forms of intestinal ischemia. On the basis of a case encountered and a subsequent review of the literature, the main features of this rare condition are described here. A better understanding and awareness of the disease should improve the diagnosis and ultimately also the prognosis.
