Stenoses

In addition to bleeding within the head, blood vessel problems such as aneurysms (dilatations) and stenoses (narrowings) can also be seen elsewhere in the body, such as kidney vessels and the aorta. ❋ Unknown (2009)

The most common stenoses are pulmonary stenosis and aortic stenosis. ❋ Elizabeth Ross (1996)

Cicatricial stenoses of the bronchi are readily recognizable by the scarred wall and the absence of rings at or near the narrowing. ❋ Chevalier Jackson (1911)

The ridge is quite prominent in some patients, especially those with dilatation from stenoses lower down. ❋ Chevalier Jackson (1911)

-- It has been estimated that 70 per cent of stenoses of the esophagus in adults are malignant in nature. ❋ Chevalier Jackson (1911)

A, shows cane-shaped cannula for use in intrathoracic compressive or other stenoses. ❋ Chevalier Jackson (1911)

Tuberculous bronchial stenoses rarely require local treatment, but are easily dilated when necessary. ❋ Chevalier Jackson (1911)

For cicatricial stenoses of the trachea the metallic bougies, Fig. 40, are useful. ❋ Chevalier Jackson (1911)

The larger sizes are used especially for the dilatation of laryngeal and tracheal stenoses. ❋ Chevalier Jackson (1911)

Spasmodic stenoses are differentiated by the absence of cicatrices and the yielding of the stenosis to gentle but continuous pressure of the esophagoscope. ❋ Chevalier Jackson (1911)

_Hyperplastic and cicatricial chronic stenoses_ preventing decannulation may be classified etiologically as follows: ❋ Chevalier Jackson (1911)

Most of the organic stenoses, other than the paralytic and neoplastic forms, are the result of inflammation, often with ulceration and secondary changes in the cartilages or the soft tissues. ❋ Chevalier Jackson (1911)

Cicatricial stenoses do not result in such large dilatations and the dilatation above a malignant stenosis is usually slight, probably because of its relatively shorter duration. ❋ Chevalier Jackson (1911)

Not uncommonly the operative treatment of the growths has been so mistakenly radical as to result in cicatricial or ankylotic stenoses which require their appropriate treatments. ❋ Chevalier Jackson (1911)

Pyloroplasty is an operation devised by Heineke and Mikulicz, and is designed to remove the mechanic obstruction in cicatricial stenoses of the pylorus, at the same time creating a new pylorus. ❋ Unknown (1896)

Gross and Zesas 12.221 have collected, respectively, 207 and 162 cases with surprisingly different rates of mortality: that of Gross being only 29.47 per cent., while that of Zesas was for cicatricial stenoses 60 per cent., and for malignant cases 84 per cent. ❋ Unknown (1896)

It is characterised by stenoses (narrowing) of the internal jugular vein (which runs down the side of the neck) and/or the azygous veins (which run up the side of the vertebrae). ❋ Unknown (2011)
