Endoscopic rings and furrows. Authentic document with original caption context retained.

Upper GI endoscopy

Oesophageal rings and furrows

Endoscopic rings and furrows.

Observation: Annular relief accompanies a narrowed appearance.
Limitation: Rings do not prove an eosinophilic cause.

Gastric ulcer · endoscopy

Upper GI endoscopy

Gastric ulcer · endoscopy

Gastric tissue defect with a crater whose edges require characterisation.

Lesion: Tissue defect
Description: Site, size, base, edges
Common causes: H. pylori and NSAIDs
Complication: Bleeding or perforation

The source identifies gastric erosions. Source attribution retained; descriptive MICA reading.

Upper GI endoscopy

Gastric erosions: endoscopic reading

The source identifies gastric erosions.

Technique: Upper GI endoscopy
Observation: Small superficial alterations affect the gastric mucosa.
Limitation: Do not invent an unreported drug-related cause.

Gastric varices · documented antral location

Upper GI endoscopy

Gastric varices · documented antral location

Gastric vascular prominences to map; the media source describes an antral location.

Structure: Dilated gastric veins
Location: Describe fundus, body, antrum
Context: Portal or segmental hypertension
Warning: Gastrointestinal bleeding

Reduced duodenal folds · endoscopy

Upper GI endoscopy

Reduced duodenal folds · endoscopy

Reduced folds, scalloping or mucosal mosaic appearance may suggest villous atrophy.

Folds: Reduction or scalloping
Surface: Possible mosaic appearance
Hypothesis: Villous atrophy
Confirmation: Context, serology, histology

Oesophageal varices · endoscopy

Upper GI endoscopy

Oesophageal varices · endoscopy

Oesophageal submucosal venous columns; size and red markings contribute to risk assessment.

Structure: Dilated submucosal veins
Usual site: Distal oesophagus
Description: Calibre, extent, red markings
Context: Portal hypertension

A duodenal defect identified as an ulcer. Authentic document with original caption context retained.

Upper GI endoscopy

Duodenal ulcer: endoscopy

A duodenal defect identified as an ulcer.

Observation: The source shows a crater-like lesion.
Limitation: A photograph cannot establish H. pylori infection.

Whitish oesophageal plaques identified as candidiasis. Source attribution retained; descriptive MICA reading.

Upper GI endoscopy

Oesophageal plaques: candidiasis

Whitish oesophageal plaques identified as candidiasis.

Technique: Upper GI endoscopy
Observation: Whitish deposits cover inflamed mucosa.
Limitation: The photograph cannot identify the fungal species.
