While the etiology of the condition is unknown, it is generally believed to be due to an increase in the normal mobility of the antral mucosa over the muscularis, with propulsion of the redundant mucosa through the pylorus during peristalsis. Thus the symptoms have been ascribed to a localized gastritis of the extruded mucosa,...Bibliography1.
