Diagnosis of low gastric antrum:

The dysmotility of gastroparesis often manifests as:

1. The gastric antrum is low and the gastric emptying is delayed.

2. The proximal end of the stomach is less compliant and the stomach is less accommodating.

3. The pressure at the proximal end of the stomach is reduced, which delays the emptying of the gastric fluid.

4. The stomach, pylorus, and duodenum movements are not coordinated. Therefore, the disease mainly manifests as delayed gastric emptying. There are often symptoms such as early satiety, fullness in the upper abdomen after meals, and discomfort in the upper abdomen after eating.

Diagnosis

Differential diagnosis

Differential diagnosis of antral motility:

According to the cause can be divided into two types of primary and secondary. Primary, also known as idiopathic gastroparesis, occurs mostly in young women. According to the onset of illness and the length of the disease, the gastroparesis can be divided into acute and chronic. Clinically more common, symptoms persist or recurrent often for months or even more than 10 years.
