Abstract

We report a case of a gastric wall abscess in a 50‐year‐old man who presented with epigastralgia and fever. Gastroscopy revealed a subepithelial lesion on the posterior wall of the gastric body into the antrum. A follow‐up abdominal CT scan showed cystic lesions around the stomach. Endoscopic sonography helped to diagnose a gastric wall abscess. The gastric wall abscess was treated endoscopically with a needle knife incision for internal drainage. The patient was treated with antibiotics for 1 week and was discharged without complication. A follow‐up endoscopy with endoscopic sonography 1 month later revealed complete resolution of the lesion.

The fetal cerebellar structure, size and consistency are looked at in every system survey. Among the acquired cerebellar events that might change the cerebellar consistency are haemorrhage, infections in utero and neoplasia. Additional fetal malformations, if present, assist in making the final diag
