Chronic Gastritis (etiology)
- prolonged Helicobacter pylory infections
- alcoholism
- hepatitis
- endocrin diseases
- infectious diseases
- autoimmune diseases
Chronic Gastritis (symptoms)
- not always painful
- occasional epigastric pressure
- discomfort
Accompanying symptoms:
- loss of appetite
- nausea
- loss of weight
- abdominal fullness
Chronic Gastritis (oral symptoms)
-erythematous, atrophic oral mucosa
(especially the dorsal surface of the tongue)
-atrophic dorsal lingual surface (lingua fuliginosa)
-glossopyrosis
-increased candidiasis tendency
Chronic Gastritis (differential diagnosis)
- anaemia
- folic acid deficiency
Chronic Gastritis (therapy)
- internal medical treatment
- local antiseptic and analgesic th. (Tantum Verde)
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (etiology)
- Motility problems of the esophagus
- Chronic chemical irritation
- increased risk of dysplastic (precancerous) alterations and epithelial transformation
- increased incidence of adenocarcinoma and epithelial cancers
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (symptoms)
Due to irritative, chemichal effects: - The oral mucosa of the pharynx and - the posterior lingual surface -erythematous -atrophic -erosions -rarely ulcers -coated tongue (yellowish-whitish) -hairy tongue -oropyrosis -glossopyrosis -permanent dental erosions
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (differential diagnosis)
- acute atophic candidiasis
- anemia
- Sjögren’s sy.
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (therapy)
- internal medical treatment
- locally antiseptics
- steroid treatment
Crohn’s disease - terminal ileitis (etiology)
unknown origin - presumably immunpathological disease
Pathogenesis:
- affect the entire digestive system from the oral cavity to the rctum
- extraintestinal, metastatic Crohn’s disease may also occur
- primarily affects the ileum
Crohn’s disease - terminal ileitis (internal symptoms)
- enteritis
- diarrhea
- constipation
- malabsorbtion
- anemia
- arthralgia
Crohn’s disease - terminal ileitis (dermatological symptoms)
- pyoderma vegetans
- erythema nodosum (reddish nodules on the extensor side of the skin of the extremities)
- periorificial erythema
Crohn’s disease - terminal ileitis (oral symptoms)
Pyostomatitis vegetans:
- erythematous and swollen mucosa
- ulcerated, deeply fissured alteration, becomes unevenly „lacerated” and resembles cobble-stone „appearence”:
- hyperplastic, granulomatous, necrotic tissues are easily detachable, and a bleeding area remains without any epithelial layers
- diffuse, red, indurated and granulomatous nodules
evolve on the lips (especially on the upper) and gingiva
- cheilitis granulomatosa (may be the firs sign of Crohn’s disease)
- multiplex fissures on the lips
- pareititis granulomatosa (granulomatous inflammations on the bucca)
- aphtous ulcers, most commonly on the palate
- angular cheilitis
Crohn’s disease - terminal ileitis (differential diagnosis)
- pemphigus vegetans
- granulomas due to candidiasis
- Quincke’s oedema
- granulomatous cheilitis
- hydantoin-hyperplasia
Crohn’s disease - terminal ileitis (therapy)
Internal medical treatment
- corticosteroids
- sulfonamids
- sulphasalazin
- azathioprin (Imuran)
- steroid gél (for the treatment of the oral mucosa)
