Presentation
We hereby present successful management and discuss implications of this exceptional yet potentially life-threatening complication. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Respiratoric
-
Respiratory Insufficiency
One should keep in mind the possibility of intrathoracic gastric dilatation as a cause of acute respiratory insufficiency in patients with hiatal hernia. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Gastrointestinal
-
Severe Abdominal Pain
We describe a 24 year old female who presented with severe abdominal pain and vomiting, in whom radiographs demonstrated gross gastric dilatation and subsequent perforation. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
-
Acute Abdomen
In conclusion, this case shows that chronic use of a SC may cause AGD and accompanying HPVG, which can be managed non-surgically despite the findings of acute abdomen. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
AGD may result in acute abdomen. Prompt relief is necessary because the progression of symptoms due to AGD is rapid and the patient may deteriorate rapidly. [link.springer.com]
-
Hiccup
On the seventh postoperative day she had nausea and hiccupping. A chest x-ray demonstrated a massively dilated stomach which was decompressed with a nasogastric tube. The patient sustained a cardiac arrest and was resuscitated. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
-
Colic
Monkeys may be found dead or may have clinical signs of colic, abdominal distention, and dyspnea. Death in untreated cases is due to impaired venous return and cardiopulmonary failure. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
-
Absent Bowel Sounds
On the third postoperative day following bilateral inguinal hernia repair, he developed abdominal distension with absent bowel sounds. Abdominal radiograph showed a grossly distended gastric shadow and small bowel dilatation. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Cardiovascular
-
Retrosternal Chest Pain
A case report is presented of a 54-year old female patient with a history of acute-onset sharp retrosternal chest pain. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Musculoskeletal
-
Lordosis
Some of the factors that have been reported to precipitate SMA syndrome are as follows: external compression of the abdomen induced by wearing tight belts, body spica, or body cast; anatomic anomalies such as lumbar lordosis [ 7 ] and high insertion of [bmcgastroenterol.biomedcentral.com]
Neurologic
-
Aphasia
Thirty-four days after admission, the patient had a residual right hemiparesis and motor aphasia, and was discharged. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
-
Hyperactivity
Bedside ultrasonography revealed a hyperactive duodenum, a distended stomach compressing on the inferior vena cava and a narrowed angle between the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) and the aorta. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
-
Paresis
The patient recovered after a period of prolonged gastric paresis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Workup
QT, RR, ST Intervals
-
ST Elevation
BACKGROUND: ST elevation myocardial infarction is a medical emergency and the electrocardiogram is a part of the mainstay in the initial diagnosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Microbiology
-
Clostridium Perfringens
Two principal factors seem to be intragastric fermentation associated with Clostridium perfringens, and abnormal gastric function. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
-
Staphylococcus Aureus
A 72-year-old man with diabetic triopathy was hospitalized with methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus pneumonia. Six hours after the admission, his abdomen was fully expanded. An abdominal X-ray showed gastric dilatation. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
T Wave
-
T Wave Inversion
Clinical examination was unremarkable, but the 12-lead ECG showed anterior T-wave inversion and the chest x-ray film showed gaseous dilatation of the stomach. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
-
Anterior T Wave Inversion
Clinical examination was unremarkable, but the 12-lead ECG showed anterior T-wave inversion and the chest x-ray film showed gaseous dilatation of the stomach. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment
In most cases emergency surgical treatment is necessary, dictated by gastric necrosis or perforation. Conservative treatment may represent an option if it is early instituted. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis
In dogs with acute GDV, plasma gastrin immunoreactivity was not found to be helpful in formulating prognosis. Circumcostal gastropexy did not affect plasma gastrin immunoreactivity. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis .—In some of the acute cases, the prognosis is favorable; but in the chronic forms, the prognosis is unfavorable, and a careful and guarded statement should be made to the patient. [henriettes-herb.com]
Sepsis as described by Cisneros-Garcia et al. is a rarely reported cause and should be suspected once other causes has been ruled out. [6] AGD has a good prognosis upon treating the underlying cause. The usual treatment is orogastric drainage. [afrjpaedsurg.org]
As we see in this case, severe gastroparesis confers a poor prognosis due to aspiration of gastric contents and erratic glycaemic control [ 3 ]. [omicsonline.org]
Etiology
We report an unusual case of acute gastric dilatation with subsequent necrosis of uncertain etiology. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Results: The 23 patients with GOO included 11 with peptic ulcer as the etiology, eight with corrosive-induced and four with chronic pancreatitis (alcohol three, idiopathic one). [medscape.com]
