The gastric antrum is the lower part of the stomach before its outlet into the small intestine. It is also called the pyloric antrum.
The pylorus is the stomach outlet. A ring of muscle there controls the passage of stomach contents into the small intestine. The antrum is the stomach region leading toward that outlet. Its name identifies a location; it does not by itself describe a disease.
