What is the Clinical Significance of Brunner's Glands?
Pathological changes in Brunner's glands can lead to several clinical conditions. Hyperplasia of these glands, known as Brunner's gland hyperplasia, can result in the formation of nodules or polyps that may cause obstruction or bleeding. Additionally, dysfunction or reduced secretion of these glands can impair the neutralization of stomach acid, contributing to duodenal ulcers.
