[Ultrasonic patterns of giant hypertrophy of the gastric mucosa (Ménétrier's disease) (author's transl)].
Since it can display the gastric folds, as well as the gastric wall and the exogastric area, sonography is a reliable way of diagnosing the giant hypertrophy of the gastric mucosa (Ménétrier's disease). The characteristic pastterns are: --a considerable thickening of the gastric folds and wall, --a high sonolucency, --the presence of the intra-mural cysts, --some "hilly" deformations in the exogastric part of the stomach, --occasionally, a mesenteric lipomatosis.
