Necrosis of the gastric wall
Most commonly, this condition develops following exposure to various chemical agents (e.g., alcohol, poor-quality food products) or specific medications (particularly aspirin-containing nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs). These substances cause rapid epithelial Cell shedding and a decrease in mucus secretion, which compromises the protective barrier against acid damage. The necrotic process can lead to The Development of Phlegmon and even perforation.
