View all RADEOS cases associated with this fact-sheet
Definition
Inflammation of the gastric mucosa
Clinical features
Most often asymptomatic; otherwise, nonspecific symptoms such as abdominal pain
CT
- Hypodense wall thickening related to submucosal edema
– Thickening of the gastric folds (hypertrophic gastritis)
The submucosa therefore appears hypodense, while the mucosa shows abnormally intense enhancement after injection of iodinated contrast material.
Differential diagnosis
Tumoral wall thickening
