A single endoscopic diagnosis was made in 1991 (93%) and in rest, combinations of lesions were seen. Gastritis 892 (41.66%), oesophagitis 215 (10.04%), duodenal ulcer 100 (4.67%), gastro-duodenitis 85 (3.97%), hiatus hernia 82 (3.82%), gastric ulcer 46 (2.14%) and no lesions in 594 (27.74%) were seen.Conclusions: Gastritis followed by oesophagitis was seen in half of the dyspeptic, while a quarter had functional dyspepsia with normal findings.Journal of Patan Academy of Health Sciences, Vol. 2, No. 2, 2015. page: 19-22
