Abstract
What is and what is not stress ulceration? The development of multiple erosions in the gastric or duodenal mucosa of acutely ill patients characterizes this condition. The lesions are usually superficial to the muscularis mucosae; I emphasize that they are erosions, although one occasionally finds a penetrating ulcer surrounded by erosions. A stress ulcer is not an exacerbation of duodenal ulceration by emotional stress, like that encountered during the Coventry air raids in World War II, nor is it the same disorder as the peculiar gastric ulcer that affected much of the civilian population on both sides of the conflict . . .
