Abstract
Attention to stress ulceration was first popularized with the description of duodenal ulceration occurring in conjunction with lesions of the central nervous system (Cushing’s ulcer) or in patients with massive burns (Curling’s ulcer). The causes of this ulceration are, however, multifactorial; they include not only lesions of the central nervous system and burns but also sepsis of any cause or magnitude; hypotension; cardiac, hepatic, or renal failure; pulmonary insufficiency; and the administration of corticosteroids. Most stress ulcers are multiple, diffuse, and superficial.
