Antral and esophageal rimple: a normal variation

E Q Seymour et al. Gastrointest Radiol. .

Abstract

The occurrence of fine antral and esophageal rimpling appears to be the result of contractions of the muscularis mucosa. The lack of persistence during distention is compatible with this conclusion. The folds have no pathologic significance.
