21. Pylorospasm, fistulae , enlarged gastric rugae, filling defects
due to large masses, obstructive features better on single
contrast

23. GASTRIC RUGAE AREA GASTRICAE
Gastric rugae – longitudinal folds seen in mucosa of
fundus and body. More prominent in GC.
Fine reticular network of barium coated groves between 1-5
mm islands of mucosa. More visible in old patients. Absent in
atrophic gastritis, enlarged in gastritis. More obvious in distal
2/3rd.
