The gastric folds (or gastric rugae) may be seen during esophagogastroduodenoscopy or in radiological studies. They provide the stomach with increased surface area for nutrient absorption. [1] When food enters the stomach, these folds stretch outward through the action of mechanoreceptors. This allows the stomach to expand, therefore increasing the volume of the stomach without increasing pressure.
Gastric fold thickening
Thickening of the gastric folds may be observed by endoscopy or radiography which may aid in the differential diagnosis of many disease processes including:[2]
