Corrosive gastritis: sonographic findings in the acute phase and follow-up.
This paper reports our experience with transabdominal ultrasound in both the acute phase and follow-up in a patient with corrosive gastritis. The case presented demonstrates that serial sonography can localise the injury, demonstrate its depth and reveal the presence of peristalsis, thereby reducing the radiation exposure resulting from barium studies.
