“…In the study of Hayden et al 5 on gastric ulcer disease in infants, the presence of gastric wall thickening in the range of 4 to 7.5 mm at the antropyloric region along with presence of deformity and spasm was considered diagnostic of gastric ulcer disease, despite the fact that no ulcer crater was identified. However, in another study 10 conducted on one child, US detected multiple large antral ulcers associated with a wall thickness of 14 mm at the site of ulcerations. US was also useful in the follow-up of healing in this case.…”

Sixty-five patients with a clinical suspicion of peptic ulcer disease were evaluated with fluid-aided sonography (US). The results were compared with endoscopic and upper gastrointestinal (UGI) series findings. Fifteen normal volunteers were examined by US only. The stomach and duodenum were both adequately visualized in 12 of the normal volunteers and in 51 of the study patients. US detected wall abnormalities in 21 of 23 patients (91%) with abnormal UGI series and endoscopy in the antropyloric and duodenal regions, although none of the 17 documented ulcers were visible by US. Abnormalities detected with US included increased wall thickness (mean, 12.85 mm), asymmetric thickening of the mucosa and muscularis, spasm, and deformity. US was considered normal in 25 of 28 patients (89%) with normal UGI series and endoscopy. The results suggest that US may be a useful nonstressful procedure in the evaluation of peptic ulcer disease previously diagnosed by UGI series or endoscopy.

“…The latter nine included two cases of perforation of gastric ulcers that were depicted as gastric W ith the recent development of apparatus and diagnostic techniques, ultrasonography (US) has become an important diagnostic tool for detecting abdominal disease. Since treating a boy whose acute multiple gastric ulcers were diagnosed by US, 1 we have been using US to examine patients complaining of abdominal pain. This is a report of interesting US findings of patients with benign gastric ulcers and the application of US to the assessment of this disease.…”

Ultrasonography was performed for 15 patients with gastric ulcers, after tap water ingestion using 5‐MHz and/or 7.5‐MHz transducers. Sonographic signs of gastric ulcer were classified as gastric wall edema associated with ulcer crater (six cases) and gastric wall edema only (nine cases). The latter nine included two cases of perforation of gastric ulcers that were depicted as gastric wall edema associated with fluid collection. Ultrasonography proved useful for detecting benign ulcerations and can be used to supplement follow‐up examinations, but it cannot replace endoscopy and contrast radiography.
