Neoplastic autovagotomy causing gastric stasis.

چکیده
Neoplastic autovagotomy causing atonic gastric stasis is extremely rare. Two cases are reported in which marked gastric stasis was complicated by a bezoar and a gastric volvulus respectively. Both cases were associated with a left hilar bronchial carcinoma, and malignant invasion of the vagus nerve may have been the underlying cause.

متن کاملNonhemopoietic cell TLR4 signaling is critical in causing early lipopolysaccharide-induced ileus.
Endotoxin-mediated ileus is poorly understood. Our objective was to mechanistically investigate the role of cell-specific TLR4 expression/signaling in causing gastrointestinal dysmotility. TLR4 chimeras and CSF-1-dependent macrophage-deficient mice were subjected to i.p. ultrapure (UP)-LPS (5 mg/kg). At 6 h, gastric emptying and gastrointestinal transit assessed in vivo motility, and jejunal ci...
متن کاملEffects of gastric surgery upon gastric emptying in cases of peptic ulceration.
Alteration in the rate of gastric emptying has long been considered responsible for many of the sequelae of gastric surgery. For example, rapid gastric emptying after gastroenterostomy (Hertz, 1913; Mix, 1922) or Polya gastrectomy (Johnson, 1954; Abbott, Krieger, and Levey, 1958) can cause one type of 'dumping syndrome'. Delayed post-gastrectomy emptying may also cause problems (Snell, 1937; Ho...
