Echogenic stomach lining

  • 7 year old mn shelite with a progressively elevated ALKP
  • The patient is asymptomatic. The dog has no gastrointestinal signs and was not fasted for this exam.  He is on various medications for allergic dermatitis including glucocorticoids and Atopica.
  • Abdominal ultrasound showed an emerging gallbladder mucocele.  The only other abnormality is the presence of gastric fluid and an echogenic layer seen between the gastric mucosa and the gastric lumen.
  • There are no visible gastric or pyloric obstructions.

    • What is this echogenic layer?  Chyme?  Artifact from the medication?

Its limited to the mucosal

Its limited to the mucosal layer and largely superficial so if persistent I would think mucosal remodeling but if temporary may be mucous or similar. Its an aspecific finding
