[Importance of X-ray examination and endoscopy in the diagnosis of hyperplasia of Brunner's glands (author's transl)]. 1980

A Patkó, and I Farkas, and L Kovács

A rare and interesting alteration--hyperplasia of Brunner's glands--is reported. In 18 cases hyperplasia of Brunner's glands were verified by endoscopy and histology as well. Frequency of occurance, clinical characteristics, X-ray symptoms of the hyperplasia of the Brunner's glands and the radiological methods of its diagnosis are described. Importance of the aimed X-ray film, carried out by Spot-filmkamera and of graded compression is emphasized. Differential diagnosis between polypoid hypertrophic duodenitis and hyperplasia of Brunner's glands are discussed in detail.

D004382	Duodenitis	Inflammation of the DUODENUM section of the small intestine (INTESTINE, SMALL). Erosive duodenitis may cause bleeding in the UPPER GI TRACT and PEPTIC ULCER.	Erosive Duodenitis,Duodenitis, Erosive
D004386	Duodenum	The shortest and widest portion of the SMALL INTESTINE adjacent to the PYLORUS of the STOMACH. It is named for having the length equal to about the width of 12 fingers.	Duodenums
D004724	Endoscopy	Procedures of applying ENDOSCOPES for disease diagnosis and treatment. Endoscopy involves passing an optical instrument through a small incision in the skin i.e., percutaneous; or through a natural orifice and along natural body pathways such as the digestive tract; and/or through an incision in the wall of a tubular structure or organ, i.e. transluminal, to examine or perform surgery on the interior parts of the body.
