title: [Ulcer location in the stomach and pylorantral hypertrophy: problem of correlation of the ulcer location and wall hypertrophy in ulcus ventriculi].
abstract: Relationship between gastric ulcer (n = 100) site and antropyloric wall hypertrophy was examined in a prospective study. Irrespective of ulcer multiplicity most ulcers were found to be located at the lesser curvature and at the posterior wall (p less than 0,001); men had significantly more ulcers at the posterior wall than females (p less than 0, 001). Single ulcers and those connected with pyloric stenosis were more distant to the pylorus than multiple ulcers (p less than 0,001). Ulcer location did not relate to hypertrophy of the pyloric channel wall. Observed differences between single and multiple ulcers were limited to wall parts only: the musculature of high located single ulcers was significantly less hypertrophied 2,5 cm orally of the pylorus (p less than 0,02) and that of high multiple ulcers was more hypertrophied at the pylorus (p less than 0,02) than in the other parts. These findings suggest that ulcer variations do not influence the diffuse antropyloric disease in gastric ulcer patients and suggest that the generalized antral changes are prior to gastric ulcer occurance.
