Etymology
The term "fecal vomiting" is derived from the Latin words "faecalis" meaning "dung" and "vomitus" meaning "to vomit".
Causes
Fecal vomiting is usually caused by a complete or partial obstruction in the gastrointestinal tract. This can be due to a variety of conditions such as bowel obstruction, volvulus, intussusception, or gastrointestinal perforation. It can also occur in severe cases of gastroenteritis.
Symptoms
The main symptom of fecal vomiting is the vomiting of material that resembles feces in both appearance and smell. Other symptoms can include abdominal pain, nausea, bloating, and constipation.
Diagnosis
Diagnosis of fecal vomiting is typically made through a combination of patient history, physical examination, and imaging studies such as X-ray, CT scan, or MRI. In some cases, a colonoscopy or endoscopy may be performed to identify the cause of the obstruction.
Treatment
Treatment of fecal vomiting involves addressing the underlying cause of the obstruction. This may involve surgery, medication, or other interventions such as stent placement or nasogastric tube insertion.
