Corrosive gastritis
Necrotic (corrosive) gastritis (gastritis necrotica s. corrosiva) results from the action of acids and alkalis that coagulate and destroy the gastric mucosa. The Pathogenesis of this condition is driven by a decrease in prostaglandin synthesis. Depending on the extent of the lesion, it is classified into acute diffuse gastritis and acute focal gastritis. In turn, acute focal gastritis may predominantly involve the fundic, antral, pyloroantral, or pyloroduodenal regions.
