  • Title: [Ulcer anamnesis and gastroduodenoscopic findings--a contribution to the symptomatology of gastroduodenal ulcers].
    Author: Kratzsch KH, Fürstenau M, Zimmermann S.
    Journal: Z Gesamte Inn Med; 1979 Sep 15; 34(18):530-4. PubMed ID: 516838.
    Abstract:
    513 patients who were gastroduodenoscopically examined on account of suspicion of ulcer were aimedly inquired for 18 typical ulcer complaints. Compared with patients with normal gastroduodenoscopic findings patients peptic ulcers of erosions of the gastric mucous membrane had significantly more frequently symptoms of the gastrointestinal haemorrhage, patients with ulcus ventriculi had, moreover, inappetence and vomiting, patients with duodenal ulcer a late pain in the centre of the epigastrium and in the right epigastrium. But these symptoms did not allow a significant differentiation between the patients with ventricular ulcer and duodenal ulcer. Patients without pathological gastroduodenoscopic findings had significantly more frequently an incompatibility of food and connected with this sensation of fullness. A typical symptomatology of ulcer may, indeed, be present in the individual case, but according to the results of the study it is no sufficient proof for the actual existence of a peptic ulcer and is thus of little differential-diagnostic value.
