Hurst28 states that from time to time there is a close connection between trauma and the development of a gastric ulcer, though he quotes no percentages. Ein¬ horn 29 makes a similar observation.The thought is thrown out merely as a suggestion that perhaps mild traumas have been overlooked in the anamnesis of ulcer cases ; given an ulcer constitution and chemism, may not seemingly mild trauma be a more frequent deciding etiologic factor than has hitherto been admitted? CRITICAL SUMMARY Liniger and Molineus 30 have specified certain pos¬ tulates that need to be satisfied before a case of sus¬ pected traumatic ulcer may be accepted as a true example of such a lesion.
