CHAPTER 11 GI signs
252
Distended abdominal veins
Some differential diagnoses and typical outline evidence
Portal
hypertension
Suggested by: veins radiating out from umbilicus (caput
medusa), ± ascites, ± splenomegaly, other stigmata of
chronic liver disease, venous hum over collaterals
Confirmed by: ultrasound scan appearance of liver,
which is small cirrhotic with dilated portal veins
Inferior
vena cava
obstruction
Suggested by: distended veins with blood flow up from
groin toward chest when compressed and one end
released
Confirmed by: CT abdomen
Superior
vena cava
obstruction
Suggested by: distended veins with blood flow from
chest toward groin when compressed and one end
released

Abdominal bruising
Also consider the general causes of bruising as indicated in the general
examination findings.
Some differential diagnoses and typical outline evidence
Retroperitoneal
hemorrhage
e.g., in acute
pancreatitis
Suggested by: abdominal tenderness and rigidity and
bruises in and around the umbilicus (Cullen’s sign) or
on one or both flanks (Grey Turner’s sign)
Confirmed by: iserum amylase, CT abdomen
Ruptured or
dissecting
abdominal
aortic aneurysm
Suggested by: hypotension and abdominal pain,
tenderness, and rigidity, and bruises in and around the
umbilicus (Cullen’s sign) or on one or both flanks

CHAPTER 11 GI signs
254
Poor abdominal movement
From the sitting position, watch and ask about any areas of tenderness
and begin furthest away, palpating gently while looking at the patient’s
face to see if there is any reaction. “Rigidity” is when there is no initial
lack of resistance but reflex rigidity from the outset.
Some differential diagnoses and typical outline evidence
Small bowel
obstruction
(“flatus” again)
Suggested by: mild distension, early vomiting, central
and high abdominal pain, resonant percussion, and
increased bowel sounds. Supine
AXR shows central
gas but no peripheral abdominal large bowel shadow
(i.e., without haustra partly crossing) but valvulae
conniventes of small intestine crossing the entire
lumen. Fluid levels on erect film
Confirmed by: abdominal ultrasound and laparotomy
findings
Large bowel
obstruction
(“flatus” again)
Suggested by: severe distension, late vomiting, visible
peristalsis, resonant percussion, and increased bowel
sounds. Supine AXR shows peripheral abdominal
large-bowel shadow (with haustra partly crossing the
lumen). Fluid levels on erect film
Confirmed by: abdominal ultrasound and laparotomy
findings
Peritonitis
from perforated
stomach,
duodenum,
diverticulum;
intraperitoneal
hemorrhage, or
bowel infarction
Suggested by: decreased or absent abdominal
movement, generalized tenderness and rigidity,
absent bowel sounds, and board-like rigidity
Confirmed by: erect AXR or CXR showing free gas
under diaphragm and laparotomy

255
Localized tenderness in the
hypogastrium (suprapubic area)
Some differential diagnoses and typical outline evidence
Acute bladder
distension
(due to prostatic
hypertrophy in
males)
Suggested by: suprapubic mass (cannot get below),
dull to percussion
Confirmed by: bladder ultrasound scan, urethral
catheterization and drainage of high volume of urine
(e.g., >1 liter)
Cystitis Suggested by: frequency of urine, dysuria, turbid urine,
hematuria on dipstick
Confirmed by: excess WBC and organisms on micro-
scopy and growth of significant bacterial colonies on
urine culture

upper quadrant (RUQ)
Guarding is when there is reflex rigidity on palpation.
Some differential diagnoses and typical outline evidence
Acute

hand meets the inflamed gallbladder descending with
the liver from behind the subcostal margin on the right
side—but not on the left side)
Confirmed by: ultrasound gallbladder and biliary ducts
Acute alcoholic
hepatitis
Suggested by: history of recent drinking binge, tender
hepatomegaly, jaundice
Confirmed by: rise and fall in liver function tests to
coincide with binge, negative hepatitis serology
Acute viral
hepatitis A
Suggested by: negative history of recent binge drinking,
fever, tender hepatomegaly, jaundice
Confirmed by: positive hepatitis serology A, B C,
D, or E
Acute liver
congestion
Suggested by: tender hepatomegaly, iJVP, leg edema
Confirmed by: CXR showing large heart, liver
ultrasound showing distension
LOCALIZED TENDERNESS IN THE LEFT UPPER QUADRANT (LUQ)1
257
Localized tenderness in the left
upper quadrant (LUQ)
Some differential diagnoses and typical outline evidence
Pyelonephritis Suggested by: fever, rigor, vomiting, groin pain,
tenderness at costovertebral angle (CVA), iWBC
proteinuria, hematuria, leukocytes on urine testing
Confirmed by: above clinical picture and significant
growth of organisms on urine culture. Ultrasound scan
for possible anatomical abnormality
Splenic
rupture Suggested by: history of trauma, plain AXR showing loss
of left psoas shadow, peritoneal tap demonstrates free
blood
Confirmed by: CT scan and laparotomy
Splenic infarct Suggested by: presence of predisposing cause,
especially sickle cell disease and crisis
Confirmed by: CT abdomen

Localized tenderness in the epigastrium
or central abdomen
Some differential diagnoses and typical outline evidence
Gastritis Suggested by: epigastric pain, dull or burning discomfort,
nocturnal pain
Confirmed by: esophagogastroscopy, barium meal
and pH study

discomfort, typically relieved by food, nocturnal pain

typically exacerbated by food
Confirmed by: esophagogastroscopy, barium meal and
pH study

Small bowel
infarction

sounds. Predisposing cause, e.g., atrial fibrillation,
extensive atheroma in diabetes
Confirmed by: AXR showing dilated loop of small bowel
with valvulae conniventes but no large bowel (with
haustra, etc.)
