RESUMO
Portal Hypertensive Gastropathy (PHG) diagnosed in 42 patients by upper gastrointestinal endoscopy and was correlated with histological findings of gastric biopsies taken from fundus-body and antrum and observed blinded by the pathologist. We found that in the fundus PHG was observed in 97.14% and of these 77.14% were mosaic pattern. Submucosal vessel dilatation was observed in 65.71%, congestion in 60% and chronic gastritis in 62.85%. Histologic and endoscopic correlation was possible in 85.71%. Our results show a histologic and endoscopic correlation.

Portal Hypertension (PH) was diagnosed in 114/4145 patients (p) evaluated by upper gastrointestinal endoscopy during 1991-92 (2.75%). Portal hypertensive gastropathy (PHG) was found in 39.47% p. Mild PHG was observed in 82.22% and esophageal varices grade was directly correlated to PHG presence. This is a new entity to be considered because of its bleeding possibility in PH patients.
