Not illustrated. 1907 Excerpt: ...On account of the relation of the posterior wall of the stomach to the lesser peritoneal sac (forming its anterior wall), the contents of the stomach may escape after perforation of the posterior wall into this sac (Fig. 82), and either become encapsulated here, or take one of two courses: through the foramen of Winslow, which lies close to the pylorus, into the general peritoneal cavity, or toward the left subphrenic space, abscesses arising from the stomach being one of the most frequent causes of left-sided subphrenic abscess. The anterior wall, as stated above, is covered to a considerable extent by the left lobe of the liver. The cardiac portion is quite deeply situated, and not readily accessible. The pyloric portion lies in the epigastric region about one inch to the right of the median line, at a point about midway between the ensiform process and the umbilicus. When empty, the stomach has a far more vertical position than was formerly thought. The lesser curvature of the empty stomach runs obliquely downward from left to right. The greater curvature has a similar course. As the stomach fills, both of these become more horizontal, so that when the stomach is full the greater curvature lies horizontally at a point about two inches above the umbilicus. The stomach even under normal conditions may extend as far as the umbilicus, but if it extends below it, one of two conditions is present: either the stomach has fallen in its entirety, both lesser and greater curvatures being at a lower level than normal--a condition called gastroptosis, or falling of the stomach, due to relaxation of the ligaments holding it in place; or, secondly, a condition known as dilatation of the stomach exists, in which the lesser curvature remains at approximately its normal ...
