Epigastric hernia causing severe symptoms - 08/10/17
Doi : 10.1016/S0002-9610(37)90950-4
Abstract |
1. | 1. One case of epigastric hernia involving abdominal contents is reported which was apparently responsible for severe symptoms of intra-abdominal disease. |
2. | 2. It is still a controversial matter whether or not simple epigastric hernia simulates intra-abdominal disease. |
3. | 3. In exploratory procedures epigastric hernia should be kept in mind when intra-abdominal disease is expected, and vice versa; also the possibility of the two conditions co-existing. Further, the anatomical considerations making small hernia not evident from within the abdomen are to be considered. |
