Complete Rupture of the Stomach in Closed Abdominal Injury: A Report of 3 Cases

Abstract

Summary Three case reports of rupture of the stomach in closed abdominal injury following external trauma are presented. The discussion is concerned chiefly with the causes of the high mortality of the condition.

Duplication of hands and feet, multiple joint dislocations, absence of corpus callosum and hypsarrhythmia: Acrocallosal syndrome?

“…A somewhat similar syndrome [Schinzel, 1982al is the cephalo-polysyndactyly syndrome of Greig [1926]. In addition to most of the malformations noted by Schinzel we observed in our patient additional unusual musculo-skeletal abnormalities.…”

Phenotype of five patients with Greig syndrome and microdeletion of 7p13

“…Greig cephalopolysyndactyly syndrome (GCPS) [Greig, 1926] is a relatively rare disorder. The majority of cases are familial with an autosomal dominant mode of inheritance with high penetrance [OMIM 175700].…”

A familial reciprocal translocation t(3;7) (p21.1;p13) associated with the Greig polysyndactyly‐craniofacial anomalies syndrome

“…The rare combination of postaxial polydactyly of the fingers, preaxial polydactyly of the toes, syndactyly, and minor cranio-facial abnormalities (Greig syndrome) has been reported only nine times [Greig, 1926;Temtamy and McKusick, 1969;Marshall and Smith, 1970;Hootnick and Holmes, 1972;Temtamy and Loutfy, 1974;Fryns et al, 1977;Duncan et al, 1979;Merlob et al, 1981;Chudley et al, 19821. In all but one [Fryns et al, 19771 of the previously reported cases familial occurrence was noted, and autosomal dominant inheritance has been established with full penetrance but with somewhat variable expressivity [Temtamy and McKusick, 1969;Hootnick and Holmes, 19721. Here we report on a new family with a total of ten affected members in four generations.…”
