Figure 3. 41-year-old woman with erosive antral gastritis. Supine oblique spot image from double contrast study shows multiple varioliform erosions in the antrum as punctate collections of barium (arrowheads) surrounded by radiolucent mounds of oedema (arrows). Endoscopy revealed visible signs of antral gastritis, but no biopsy specimens were obtained. Almost all of our patients with antral erosions were Helicobacter pylori negative (including this patient), and nearly half had a history of recent aspirin or other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug use.
