Abstract：Objective To investigate the effect of upper gastrointestinal barium detection on the cause of chronic gastritis. Methods A retrospective review was carried out on 57 patients admitted to our hospital during September 2010 and September 2014, who were provisionally diagnosed as chronic gastritis, but later confirmed as other diseases by upper gastroin-testinal barium examination. Results The main symptoms were abdominal pain, abdominal distension, belching, reflux, nausea and vomiting. All the patients were provisionally diagnosed as chronic gastritis according to the clinical symptoms, the results of gastroscopy and biopsy. However, they did not respond well to treatment. According to the upper gastrointestinal barium examination, they were definitely diagnosed as other diseases. 41 cases were eventually diagnosed as gastroptosis, 14 cases as duodenal stasis, 1 case as cascade stomach, 1 case intestinal malrotation. All the patients' condition improved after adjustment to the corresponding treatment was made. Conclusion Gastroscopy can not replace upper gastrointestinal barium examination. For refractory chronic gastritis, upper gastrointestinal barium examination is necessary to rule out the possibility of other diseases.
