Lymphatic drainage: 

coeliac lymph nodes (subsequently to the thoracic duct) and into

   the left supraclavicular

  – body of the stomach

Clinical notes

Pyloric stenosis (pylorostenosis) is a 

congential hypertrophic stenosis of

the pyloric sphincter that may clini-

cally manifest as projectile vomiting.

Achalasia  is  a  pathological  motility

disorder of the aboral part of the 

oesophagus. A lack of the myenteric 

ganglionic cells lead to absence of 

peristalsis and inability to relax the 

distal oesophageal sphincter.

The  nodes  of  Virchow-Troisier 

are  the  left  supraclavicular  lymph

nodes. Enlargement of these nodes 

can be one of the first symptoms of

stomach cancer due to its connec-

tion with the thoracic duct.

Gastric  ulcers are more likely to 

occur in areas of the stomach that 

have  poor  blood  supply,  such  as

where  the  anastomotic  arterial

arches  are  attached  to  the  lesser

and greater curvatures of the stom-

ach.
