Symptoma

Gastric Dilatation

Dilation of Stomach

We hereby present successful management and discuss implications of this exceptional yet potentially life-threatening complication. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • 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]

  • 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]

  • 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]

  • 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]

  • 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 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]

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]

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]

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]

For definitive treatment, a gastropexy is performed in an attempt to prevent recurrence of the volvulus. [vetgirlontherun.com]
