Patterns of gastric mucosa are not identified with standard endoscopy. There is scarce information with the use of magnification cromoendoscopy in the viewing. Aim: Identify the patterns of mucosa with magnification and acetic acid spraying in distal antrum. Patients: Individuals scheduled to undergo routine upper gastrointestinal endoscopy were enrolled. Materials and Methods: Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy was performed with Fujinon Inc. 590 EG ZW and EPX 4400 processor. Endoscopy was consecutively performed with: a) high resolution, b) magnification, c) high resolution with instillation of 5% acetic acid in distal antrum, d) magnification in sprayed area. Each found pattern was recorded, was photographed and was saved in JPEG in Power Point program. Results: 89 Patients were included, 57 women (64.04%) and 32 (35.95%) men, with ages of 19-81 years and average 46.25 y/o. We evaluated 107 areas and the types of mucosa pattern most frequently found were Type 1 and type 2 in 30.84% and 57.94% respectively. Conclusions: In distal antrum only the endoscopic magnification with spraying of acetic acid showed the different patterns of gastric mucosa.

Keywords : Mucosa gastric pattern; endoscopic magnification; enhanced magnifying endoscopy; acetic acid.
