Q

Describe the Normal Rotation of the midgut (slide where Witwer wrote out the steps)

A
  • Midgut loop has a cranial limb and a caudal limb
  • Midgut loop rotates around the axis of the **superior mesenteric artery
  • Midgut loop rotates first 90 degrees to bring the cranial limb to the right & caudal limb to the left during the physiological hernia
  • the cranial limb of the midgut loop elongates to form the intestinal coiled loops (jejunum and ileum).
  • This rotation is counterclockwise and it is completed to 270 degrees, so after reduction of physiological hernia it rotates to about 180 degrees

Q

Where is the ligament of treitz located?

A

**LUQ

-if the ligamentum of treitz IS NOT there, you know you had a malrotation. This causes the small bowel to be on the right (when it should be on the left) and you have a thing called Ladd’s band. It pinches the arteries and veins and you get increased edema and blockage of the vessels. You end up with arterial infarction and DEAD bowel. Tx: they go in and cut the Ladd’s band, and reattach the bowel to where it SHOULD be

Q

Intestinal Malrotation with Midgut Volvulus:

-Clinical Sx?

A
  • **billious vomiting
  • Hemodynamic instability
  • Abdominal distension

(Pts present with: bilius vomiting!!! because the bile duct from the liver comes in and inserts on the lesser curve side of the duodenum. Bile gets in their (its an emulsifier) and it breaks down the fat cells –any time you see bilius vomiting: you know the obstruction is distal to where the common bile duct enters the duodenum )

A

?

83
Q

Abdominal Pain: 3 kinds of pain

A

Visceral, Somatoparietal, and Referred

84
Q

Describe visceral abdominal pain

A

**Visceral= cramping, burning or gnawing pain

  • Noxious stimuli trigger nociceptors in viscera
  • Pain is dull and poorly localized in the midline because both sides of the spinal cord are stimulated by afferent impulses.
  • Pain accompanied by sweating, nausea, pallor and restlessness
  • Pain roughly corresponds to dermatomes innervating organ with problem
  • Injuries to visceral tissues may also exhibit **referred pain (see below)
85
Q

Describe Somatoparietal Abdominal Pain

  • _______ stimuli?
  • more or less intense than visceral pain?
  • Ex?
A
  • *Noxious stimuli of parietal peritoneum
  • *More intense and more precisely localized than Visceral Pain
  • Example: McBurney’s point pain in appendicitis is somatoparietal
  • Aggravated by moving or coughing
  • *Mediating nerve impulses travel with Somatosensory spinal nerves, not Autonomic NS, corresponding to dermatomes
  • SOMATOPARIETAL does not travel with ANS**

-*Lateralizes because only one side of parietal peritoneum is innervated by somatosensory fibers at a given location

(Know McBurney’s point pain= CLASSIC finding of ap[endicitis!!!! KNOW (it begins as a visceral pain and then localizes at mcburney’s point (1/2 way b/w umbilicas and
-jumping up and down is a stress test for appendicitis– send them to the hospital
)

86
Q

Describe Referred Pain (of abdominal pain)

A
  • Referred Pain (Pain remote from diseased organ):
  • Referred Pain occurs when visceral afferents and somatic afferents from a different anatomic region converge on second order neurons in the spinal cord at the same spinal segment.
  • **Usually well localized
  • Example: Diaphragmatic irritation form subphrenic abscess is “interpreted” in the brain as “coming” from the shoulder
    notes: (-classic one is heart disease, reflux, GERD, )
87
Q

Visceral afferent= ____ order neuron

A

first

88
Q

Spinal cord= ____ order neuron

A

second order neuron

89
Q

Somatic afferent= ____ order neuron

A

first

90
Q

Heart Referred pain–>

A

shoulder and arm

91
Q

Stomach referred pain–>

A

Gallbladder — pain is referred to superior and lateral right shoulder, offset superior similar in size and circular shape to the superficial distribution of the axillary nerve.
Liver — pain is referred in a similar pattern to the heart, but only on the right hemi-body.
Stomach — pain is referred just to the right of midline in the epigastric area and to the mid-back, just below the referred angina from T7 to T9.
Ovaries — pain is referred to the skin area immediately over the ovaries anteriorly and directly posteriorly, but more lateral.
Appendix — pain is referred to Mcburney’s point in the right hypogastric area.
Kidneys — pain is referred to the skin area somewhat below the kidneys, posteriorly only, and medial to the posterior referred ovarian pain; there is also an area half way down the right lateral thigh, the right chest just to the right of the lower sternum.

Ureters — pain is referred to an anterior band across the pelvis, including the groin and the genitals, but not extending around to the back.
Colon pain–> suprapubic
Bladder — pain is referred to a continuous area encompassing the sacrum from S2 down to the upper medial thighs.

  • Liver gallbladder trouble= RUQ
  • classic referred pain= uretocalculus passing (starts up in liver and feel it go down and the pain goes down to the bladder, scrotum or labia)
  • passing a kidney stone: followed it down
92
Q

Appendicitis:

  • describe the pain fibers?
  • at what level?**
A

*Appendicitis – Visceral afferent fibers carry pain sensations that enter the spinal cord with sympathetic fibers at the T10 level (umbilicus)**. The pain is referred to the dermatome of T10, the umbilical region

-The pain in appendicitis can
sometimes begin as a central
periumbilical colicky type of
pain that comes and goes.

-After 6-10 hours, the pain tends to localize to the RLQ and becomes constant (McBurney’s point pain that is somatoparietal)

93
Q

Abdominal Pain:
Some authors use the terms Visceral Pain and _______ pain in an overlapping way, ie “Visceral Referred Pain” (Netter) and “Referred pain from different visceral organs” (Guyton).

A

Referred Pain

-Referred Pain maps similar to the Visceral pain maps of Feldman are found in Netter, Guyton, and Gilroy Atlas of Anatomy.
