| oesophageal rupture | Named after Captain Boerhaave, a Dutch ship captain, who was the first patient this condition was described in. Traumatic rupture of the lower oesophagus can occur with significant blunt chest trauma, during CPR or in some conditions of forceful protracted vomiting. This condition is much more common in the patient with a pre-existing oesophageal disease such as reflux oesophagitis. The chest X-ray will typically show an abnormal left cardiac border with free fluid within the left hemithorax (pleural effusion). Patients will experience immediate chest pain, which may radiate to the neck, accompanied by shock, sepsis and death within 48 hours if untreated. (27 Sep 1997) |

| aortic rupture | Tearing of aortic tissue. It may be rupture of an aneurysm or it may be due to trauma. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| ventricular septal rupture | Rupture of the intraventricular septum of the heart, usually secondary to myocardial infarction. (12 Dec 1998) |
| rupture | 1. Forcible tearing or disruption of tissue. 2. <surgery> A hernia. (17 Dec 1997) |
| rupture, spontaneous | Tear or break of an organ, vessel or other soft part of the body, occurring in the absence of external force. (12 Dec 1998) |
| heart rupture | Laceration or tearing of the walls of the heart, of the interatrial or interventricular septum, of the papillary muscles or chordae tendineae, or of any of the valves of the heart. Rupture may be due to a variety of pathological entities, however, the majority are secondary to myocardial infarction (heart rupture, post-infarction). (12 Dec 1998) |
| heart rupture, post-infarction | Rupture of the heart after myocardial infarction. (12 Dec 1998) |
| splenic rupture | A term usually used to describe the result of blunt injury to the spleen. In this case, there will be laceration and haemorrhage from the spleen. This type of injury is most often seen in motor vehicle accidents. A rare form of spontaneous splenic rupture has been known to occur with mononucleosis and other disease processes which cause splenic enlargement (leukaemia). (27 Sep 1997) |
| uterine rupture | A tearing of uterine tissue; it may be traumatic or spontaneous due to multiple pregnancy, large foetus, previous scarring, or obstruction. (12 Dec 1998) |
| foetal membranes, premature rupture | Spontaneous rupture of amniotic sac before the onset of uterine contractions. (12 Dec 1998) |
| reflux, oesophageal | A condition wherein stomach contents regurgitate or back up (reflux) into the oesophagus (a long cylindrical tube that transports food from the mouth to the stomach). The food in the stomach is partially digested by stomach acid and enzymes. Normally, the partially digested acid content in the stomach is delivered by the stomach muscle into the small intestine for further digestion. In oesophageal reflux, stomach acid content refluxes backwards up into the oesophagus, occasionally reaching the breathing passages, causing inflammation and damage to the oesophagus, as well as to the lung and larynx (the voice box). The overall process is medically termed gastroesophageal reflux disease (gerd). 10% of patients with gerd develop a barrett's oesophagus which can increase the risk of cancer of the oesophagus.

| cervical oesophageal web | <radiology> Post-cricoid web, M=F, 5% of UGI patients, anterior (antero-lateral), with or without dysphagia, Treatment: endoscopic disruption (lysis) see: oesophageal webs and rings (12 Dec 1998) |
| sliding oesophageal hiatal hernia | Displacement of the cardioesophageal junction and the stomach through the oesophageal hiatus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| speech, oesophageal | A method of speech used after laryngectomy, with sound produced by vibration of the column of air in the oesophagus against the contracting cricopharyngeal sphincter. (12 Dec 1998) |
| superior oesophageal sphincter | <anatomy, muscle> This is the horizontal muscle located at the top of the oesophagus. (13 Nov 1997) |
| diffuse oesophageal spasm | A disorder characterised by episodic contractions of the oesophagus. The oesophageal spasms fail to effectively propel food to the stomach. Symptoms may be confused with angina. Common symptoms include chest pains, epigastric pain, heartburn, pain on swallowing and difficulty swallowing. Treatment includes the use of sublingual nitroglycerin and calcium channel blockers. (27 Sep 1997) |
