Dilatation of the Stomach (Gastrectasia). (See Plate XL.,Fig. 1.) Dilatation of the stomach is caused by obstruction at the pyloric orifice,either from cancer, the cicatrix of an ulcer, or fibrous stricture. In amild form, so-called atonic dilatation, it certainly follows the relaxa-tion and degeneration of the walls of the stomach that occur in chronicgastritis and in the conditions causing chronic gastritis. It may attendparalysis of the stomach. Excessive eating and drinking are the onlyprobable causes independent of organic disease. Hence we have (1)obstructive and (2) atonic dilatation. The dilatation may be acute. The term acute paralytic distention isalso applied to this condition. The cases are by no means so rare as wasonce thought. They follow blows or operations upon the abdomen, oroccur as a result of the relaxation and distention of the walls that appear. Normal Position and Displacements of the Stomach. Solid red line-Normal position of distended stomach. Blue line—Atonic dilatation. Dotted red line—Gastroptosis.
