Chronic ischemic gastritis is an unusual entity that is rarely distinguished from other forms of intestinal ischemia. On the basis of a case encountered and a subsequent review of the literature, the main features of this rare condition are described here. A better understanding and awareness of the disease should improve the diagnosis and ultimately also the prognosis.
