Note shape of stomach and small portion of themeal engaging in a narrow channel of communication. b, Same stomach several hours later ; the greater portion of the meal is now in the lower sac still contains a portion of the food, nearly all of the meal is now in the lower sac. -Eight hours after ingestion very little of the food has passed through the pylorus. c, Radiograph taken at ten hours, and later showed marked delay in emptying time of , hour-glass contraction of stomach, also pyloric stenosis secondary to another ulcer. CANCER OF THE STOMACH 353 Malignant Hour - glass Contraction. — The invasion and concentricspread of a growth in the circumference of the body of the organ resultsin an hour-glass form of stomach, the growth spreading in all directions,upwards, downwards, and concentrically, though the extension may not beequal in all directions.
