Tips on using my ppt.
1. You can freely download, edit, modify and put your
name etc.
2. Don’t be concerned about number of slides. Half the
slides are blanks except for the title.
3. First show the blank slides (eg. Aetiology ) > Ask
students what they already know about ethology of
today's topic. > Then show next slide which enumerates
aetiologies.
4. At the end rerun the show – show blank> ask questions >
show next slide.
5. This will be an ACTIVE LEARNING SESSION x
three revisions.
6. Good for self study also.
7. See notes for bibliography.

mobile sideways
2. The swelling is continuous with the liver
dullness without a band of colonic
resonance
Hepatic swellings

Sub-Phrenic Abscess
Sub-Phrenic Abscess
1 Pain in the right hypochondrial region
referred to the shoulders
2. Diffuse tender swelling in the right
hypochondrial region
3. Signs of septicemia: High fever with
rigors, sweating and marked tachycardia
4. Screening: Raised and fixed diaphragm
with gas under it
5. Features of the causative condition e.g.
perforated peptic ulcer, liver abscess
Gall Bladder
Gall Bladder
1. Oval smooth swelling, the size of an egg
2. Moves with respiration,
• Ca Gall bladder
• Ca. Head of pancreas

• Choledochus cyst
Stomach and Duodenum
Stomach and Duodenum
• Ca Stomach
• Cogenital hypertrophic pyloric stenosis
• Sub-Acute Perforation of a Peptic Ulcer
Stomach and Duodenum
Ca Stomach
1. There is irregular firm lump which moves
on respiration
2. Patient is usually elderly and has
anorexia and weight loss
3. Barium meal would show filling defect
4.Upper GI Endoscopy
Stomach and Duodenum
Sub-Acute Perforation of a Peptic Ulcer

may be present with a central abscess

pain with vomiting.
2.Passage of blood and mucus (red currant
jelly) per anum without fecal odour.
3. There may be curved, sausage shaped
lump
4. Barium enema would show typical pincer
shaped ending of the radio-opaque material.
