A CT scan is the preferred method of diagnosis; however, free air from a perforation can often be seen on plain X-ray. [2] Perforation anywhere along the gastrointestinal tract typically requires emergency surgery in the form of an exploratory laparotomy. [2] This is usually carried out along with intravenous fluids and antibiotics. [2]
This leads to "free gas" within the peritoneal cavity. If the person stands, as when having a chest X-ray, the gas will float to a position underneath the diaphragm. Therefore, gas in the peritoneal cavity, shown on an erect chest X-ray or supine lateral abdominal X-ray, is an omen of perforated peptic ulcer disease.
Valentino's syndrome is pain presenting in the right lower quadrant of the abdomen caused by a duodenal ulcer with perforation through the retroperitoneum. [1]It is named after Rudolph Valentino, an Italian actor, who presented with right lower quadrant pain in New York, which turned out to be a perforated peptic ulcer.
Pneumoperitoneum is pneumatosis (abnormal presence of air or other gas) in the peritoneal cavity, a potential space within the abdominal cavity.The most common cause is a perforated abdominal organ, generally from a perforated peptic ulcer, although any part of the bowel may perforate from a benign ulcer, tumor or abdominal trauma.
These hard lumps irritate the rectum and lead to the formation of these ulcers. It results in fresh bleeding per rectum (i.e. hematochezia). These ulcers may be seen on imaging, such as a CT scan but are more commonly identified using endoscopy, usually a colonoscopy. [1] Treatment modalities can include both surgical and non-surgical techniques.
Gastric ulcer with a red spot seen in gastroscopy of a patient with upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage Successful closure of the gastric ulcer with an endoclip. The endoclip was first described by Hayashi and Kudoh in 1975, [1] and was termed the "staunch clip".
