• Agastria — A rare pathological term or archaic medical word designating the complete, congenital, or surgical absence of the stomach (agastria); by extension, a functional or structural state in which gastric secretion and stomach-level digestion are completely halted. Clinically, the term reflects a severe anatomical anomaly requiring major therapeutic and nutritional restructurings of the digestive tract.
