BACKGROUND Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is a genetic disorder characterized by initial muscular hypotonia and feedingdifficulties, and later an insatiable appetite, hyperphagia and obesity along with mild to moderate intellectual impairment.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
One should keep in mind the possibility of intrathoracic gastric dilatation as a cause of acute respiratoryinsufficiency in patients with hiatal hernia.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
We describe a 24 year old female who presented with severeabdominalpain and vomiting, in whom radiographs demonstrated gross gastric dilatation and subsequent perforation.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
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 acuteabdomen.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
AGD may result in acuteabdomen. Prompt relief is necessary because the progression of symptoms due to AGD is rapid and the patient may deteriorate rapidly.[link.springer.com]
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]
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]
On the third postoperative day following bilateral inguinal hernia repair, he developed abdominal distension with absentbowelsounds. Abdominal radiograph showed a grossly distended gastric shadow and small bowel dilatation.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
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]
BACKGROUND: STelevation myocardial infarction is a medical emergency and the electrocardiogram is a part of the mainstay in the initial diagnosis.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
A 72-year-old man with diabetic triopathy was hospitalized with methicillin resistant staphylococcusaureus pneumonia. Six hours after the admission, his abdomen was fully expanded. An abdominal X-ray showed gastric dilatation.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Clinical examination was unremarkable, but the 12-lead ECG showed anterior T-waveinversion and the chest x-ray film showed gaseous dilatation of the stomach.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Clinical examination was unremarkable, but the 12-lead ECG showed anteriorT-waveinversion 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]
