High-Yield Explanation
It is a malabsorption syndrome characterised by significant loss of villi in the small intestine and thence diminished absorptive surface area. The condition occurs in 2 forms- childhood and adult type. Childhood form referred to as coeliac disease. Adult form called idiopathic steatorrhea. Both forms are histologically similar. In Paial villus atrophy, There is shoening and blunting of the villi with reduction in their height. There is crypt hyperplasia. In Subtotal villous atrophy, There is near total flattening of the villi and crypt hyperplasia. Lamina propria shows increased number of plasma cells and lymphocytes.
