title: [Portal hypertensive gastropathy: histologic and endoscopic correlation].
abstract: Portal Hypertensive Gastropathy (PHG) diagnosed in 42 patients by upper gastrointestinal endoscopy and was correlated with histological findings of gastric biopsies taken from fundus-body and antrum and observed blinded by the pathologist. We found that in the fundus PHG was observed in 97.14% and of these 77.14% were mosaic pattern. Submucosal vessel dilatation was observed in 65.71%, congestion in 60% and chronic gastritis in 62.85%. Histologic and endoscopic correlation was possible in 85.71%. Our results show a histologic and endoscopic correlation.
