Correlation of Visick grading was done with serial endoscopies in 19 patients operated for duodenal ulceration. Deeper mucosal lesions like ulceration showed good association with Visick grading (100%), while superficial mucosal lesions were mostly asymptomatic and therefore, caused disparity in grading. Moreover, as symptoms and endoscopic findings changed with passage of time, it was concluded that in the light of endoscopic findings the grading needs re-evaluation.
