Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A perforated ulcer is one that has created a hole or tear in the stomach or intestinal wall, allowing stomach contents to spill into the abdominal cavity. It is a serious medical emergency and requires immediate treatment. Acute and chronic ulcers refer to the duration of the ulcer, pyloric ulcers are specifically located in the pylorus (the area that connects the stomach to the small intestine), and congenital ulcers are present at birth.
