A member asked:
What is flatish looking duodenal mucosa ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
↓ed normal villi: The multiple small projections of cells, call villi, which greatly increase surface area for interaction with food are decreased, thus resulting in a flattened appearance. This is somewhat typical of celiac sprue but there are many possibilities.
