ruptured aneurysm |
An aneurysm that is haemorrhaging into its wall or surrounding tissues. (05 Mar 2000) |
ruptured appendix |
<surgery> Advanced appendicitis (delayed surgery) can result in a ruptured appendix. Clinically, the patient will have increased abdominal pain, diffusely over the entire abdomen (rather than just the right-lower quadrant. The fever usually becomes high-grade (over 101 degrees Fahrenheit) and the white blood cell count that typically exceeds 20,000 cells per cubic millimetre. Surgery for this condition is associated with higher morbidity. (17 Dec 1997) |
ruptured disk |
<orthopaedics> A condition that results in the abnormal protrusion (bulging), herniation or prolapse of a vertebral disc from its normal position in the vertebral column. The displaced disc may exert force on a nearby nerve root causing the typical neurologic symptoms of radiating pain (to an extremity), numbness, tingling and weakness. Recurrent episodes of severe back pain are common. Treatment includes non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, corticosteroids and rest. More advanced cases may require surgical intervention (for example laminectomy, micro-disc surgery). (17 Dec 1997) |
ruptured membrane |
<obstetrics> A term used to define the rupture of the amniotic sac, releasing the amniotic fluid and heralding the onset of labour. (17 Dec 1997) |
ruptured spleen |
Rupture of the capsule of the spleen, an organ in the upper left part of the abdomen, is a potential catastrophe that requires immediate medical and surgical attention. Splenic rupture permits large amounts of blood to leak into the abdominal cavity which is severely painful.and life-threatening. Shock and, ultimately, death can result. Patients typically require an urgent operation. Rupture of a normal spleen can be caused by trauma, for example, in an accident. If an individual's spleen is enlarged, as is frequent in mononucleosis, most physicians will not allow activities (such as major contact sports) where injury to the abdomen could be catastrophic.
