| antral sphincter | Angular sphincter, thickening of the circular muscular layer forming a proposed intermediate sphincter at the level of the angular notch of the stomach. While the thickening of the circular muscle may indicate the commencement of the pyloric antrum, true functional sphincteric activity distinct from the other peristaltic contractions of the stomach is not observed although some of these may in fact temporarily close off the antrum from the remainder of the stomach lumen. Synonym: antral sphincter, midgastric transverse sphincter, sphincter antri, sphincter intermedius, sphincter of antrum, sphincter of gastric antrum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bowel perforation | Complete penetration of the intestinal wall resulting in the potential for bacterial contamination of the abdominal cavity (peritonitis). (27 Sep 1997) |
| Boyd communicating perforation veins | A vein connecting the superficial and deep venous system in the anteromedial calf. (05 Mar 2000) |
| retinal perforation | <ophthalmology> Perforations through the whole thickness of the retina including the macula as the result of inflammation, trauma, degeneration, etc. The concept includes retinal breaks, tears, dialyses, and holes. (12 Dec 1998) |
| peptic ulcer perforation | Penetration of a peptic ulcer through the stomach wall. May be free, i.e., at a point where the stomach wall faces a real or potential space,, or confined, i.e., at a point where the stomach wall is defended by contiguous or adjacent structures, such as the pancreas. (12 Dec 1998) |
| perforation | 1. The act of boring or piercing through a part. 2. A hole made through a part or substance. Origin: L. Perforare = to pierce through (18 Nov 1997) |
| intestinal perforation | <surgery> This surgical emergency involves rupture of the wall of the intestine. Intestinal perforation results in severe abdominal pain intensified by movement. Later symptoms include fever and chills. Underlying causes include appendicitis, gastrointestinal cancer and diverticulitis. (10 Jan 1998) |
| oesophageal perforation | <radiology> Usually in neonates, upper oesophagus frequently affected, then NG tube dissects posteriorly, relatively benign in neonates CXR findings: pneumothorax, pneumomediastinum, abnormal distance between NG tube and trachea on lateral view, NG tube does not terminate in stomach, thin irregular tract (with contrast) vs. Large regular tract (tracheo-oesophageal fistula), pleural effusion, patchy infiltrates see: oesophageal trauma (12 Dec 1998) |
| tympanic membrane perforation | An opening in the tympanic membrane usually caused by trauma. There are four general categories: compression injuries (the most common and usually the result of a blow to the ear); instrumentation injuries (the second most common, usually inadvertent, caused often by cotton swabs or bobby-pins); burn-slag injuries (frequently seen in industry, from hot metal from machines or welding); and blast injuries (usually seen during war or as a result of terrorist bombing). In the absence of infection, most traumatic tympanic membrane perforations heal spontaneously. Persistent perforation is usually a manifestation of tubotympanitis, an inflammation of the eustachian tube and tympanic cavity (middle ear). (12 Dec 1998) |
| uterine perforation | Penetration through the uterine wall. (12 Dec 1998) |
