"Vascular Raspberry" Formations of the Stomach and Peptic Ulcer

"Vascular Raspberry" Formations of the Stomach and Peptic Ulcer In the course of studies on the vascular diathesis of peptic ulcer, an unusual blood-vessel formation designated as "vascular raspberry" has been found. This is a tiny, multiloculated, thin-walled appendage located chiefly upon bifurcations of the subserosal veins in the gastric lesser curvature. The structure appears to be the site of arteriovenous connections which participate in the regulation of blood flow to the gastroduodenal wall where ulceration commonly develops. Vascular raspberries of the lesser curvature were found to be about six times more numerous in gastric specimens resected for ulcer than in specimens obtained from postmortem examination on patients without ulcer. The highest number of raspberries was found in specimens from males operated upon for duodenal ulcer. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png JAMA American Medical Association

Abstract

In the course of studies on the vascular diathesis of peptic ulcer, an unusual blood-vessel formation designated as "vascular raspberry" has been found. This is a tiny, multiloculated, thin-walled appendage located chiefly upon bifurcations of the subserosal veins in the gastric lesser curvature. The structure appears to be the site of arteriovenous connections which participate in the regulation of blood flow to the gastroduodenal wall where ulceration commonly develops. Vascular raspberries of the lesser curvature were found to be about six times more numerous in gastric specimens resected for ulcer than in specimens obtained from postmortem examination on patients without ulcer. The highest number of raspberries was found in specimens from males operated upon for duodenal ulcer.
