title: [X-ray diagnostic features of giant bleeding ulcers in stomach and duodenum].
abstract: The study was based on the analysis of clinical, X-ray, and morphological examinations made in 64 patients with giant gastric and duodenal ulcers. All the patients were admitted for gastroduodenal hemorrhage. Among the examinees, there were 28 patients with giant ulcer of the stomach and 26 with that of the duodenum. The authors present the methods of X-ray examinations and the X-ray symptomatology of giant ulcers of the stomach and duodenum. Gastroscopic and X-ray examinations were comparatively analyzed. The paper gives evidence that the X-ray examination has many advantages in estimating the size and ratio of ulcers to the adjacent organs and tissues. The paper outlines giant duodenal ulcers. The authors identify two groups of patients with giant ulcers of the duodenal bulb, which differ in its size and the extent of deformity. One of valid signs of the penetration of giant ulcers is not only their size, but their depth and fixation to the adjacent organs and tissues.
