What is erosion in the pre-pyloric region?
Erosion in the pre-pyloric region refers to the wearing away or breakdown of the mucosal lining of the stomach near the pylorus, which is the opening between the stomach and the small intestine. This erosion can be caused by factors such as excess stomach acid, certain medications, or underlying conditions like gastritis or peptic ulcers. Treatment typically involves addressing the underlying cause and may include medications to reduce stomach acid or promote healing of the stomach lining.

What is pre-pyloric?
The bottom of the stomach is the pyloric area, with the pyloric sphincter separating the stomach from the duodenum (first portion of the small intestine). The top of the stomach is the cardiac area with the cardiac sphincter. The pre-pyloric area is the area just above the phyloric sphincter where they do biopsies to test for an H-Pylori infection. The pyloric area consists of two parts the pyloric canal and the pyloric antrum.
Pyloric sphincter function?
The pyloric sphincter is a muscular valve that controls the flow of partially digested food (chyme) from the stomach to the small intestine. It regulates the release of chyme in small amounts to ensure proper digestion and absorption of nutrients. Dysfunction of the pyloric sphincter can lead to conditions like gastritis, peptic ulcers, and gastroesophageal reflux disease.
