We have presented 7 cases of megagastrica, 3 caused by ulcerative inflammatory disease in the pyloroduodenal segment and four by different factors as described above. We have briefly summarized the positive etiological agents in the production of megagastrica and have touched on the importance of making an early diagnosis so that adequate and proper treatment may be instituted. We have tried to emphasize the necessity for arriving at the correct diagnosis and in order not to confuse this entity with other differential possibilities.
