Not illustrated. 1893 edition. Excerpt: ... of these important structures is shown in Frontispiece I. and in Fig. 74. The superior limit of the fundus of the organ is on a higher level than the cardiac orifice. The frontispiece represents the stomach smaller than it is represented in most books; and the average of observations in the post-mortem room shows it to be larger, but we are distinctly of opinion that the average there is abnormally large, that in fact the majority of stomachs, as seen on the post-mortem table, are dilated; the frontispiece has therefore been made to represent the organ nearer to what we believe to be the normal size. Inspection.--In the normal state inspection gives no information as to the state of this viscus. If, however, it be greatly distended, it leads to bulging of the abdominal wall, and its outline may be traced by the eye. Percussion.--In the majority of individuals, and when the stomach is not distended with food, a tympanitic sound may be elicited in what has been referred to as Traube's area. When the fundus is dilated with gas the area over which the tympanitic sound can be produced is extended. The direction in which this extension takes place is upwards and outwards, more especially upwards. In even moderate degrees of dilatation it will be found that, if percussion be performed over the heart, and continued downwards just within a vertical line drawn from the apex, the percussion sound changes suddenly from the dull sound produced by the heart to a distinctly tympanitic sound, which is at first somewhat muffled, but which, as we proceed downwards, loses this muffled character. Percussion must be moderately strong for this. The upper limit of the muffled tympanicity marks the upper limit of the fundus. The muffling of the sound results from the... Read Less
