"Patulous" refers to something that is open or spread out, often used in a medical context to describe a condition where an opening, such as a duct or orifice, is abnormally wide or not adequately closed. For example, it may refer to a patulous eustachian tube, where the tube connecting the throat to the middle ear remains open, potentially leading to various auditory issues. The term can also be applied more generally to describe any structure that is not properly closed or tightly fitting.
What is the ICD-9 code for patulous pylorus
A patulent esophagus is a widened area often associated with Barrett's Esophagus.
Patulous thoracic esophagus, also known as a dilated esophagus, is a condition where the esophagus becomes abnormally wide and relaxed. This can lead to symptoms like difficulty swallowing and regurgitation of food. Treatment may involve dietary changes, medication, or in severe cases, surgery.
A patulous pylorus refers to a condition where the opening between the stomach and the small intestine remains abnormally open. This can lead to symptoms such as gastric contents refluxing back into the stomach, causing discomfort and potential complications such as malabsorption and weight loss. The end result of a patulous pylorus can vary depending on the underlying cause and severity of the condition, but it often requires medical intervention such as medications or surgery to correct the issue and alleviate symptoms.
Patulous pylorus is a condition characterized by an abnormally wide opening of the pylorus, which is the valve that controls the passage of partially digested food from the stomach into the small intestine. This condition can lead to symptoms such as gastric reflux, nausea, and abdominal discomfort, as the improper closure may allow stomach contents to flow back into the stomach. Patulous pylorus can occur due to various factors, including anatomical abnormalities or complications from surgery. Treatment may involve dietary changes, medications, or surgical intervention, depending on the severity of the symptoms.

Yes, as a congenital developmental condition usually associated with spinal cord dysfunction in newborns. The problem with these spinal cord nerve injuries/defects can result in flaccid (limp/paralyzed) muscles in the pelvic floor. This results in the muscles of the buttocks being flat and without a natal cleft (aka butt crack). See the related links below for a link to an illustration of this defect. Often this can be accompanied by other defects in that area of the body including "patulous anus" a condition with paralysis of the anal sphincter causing fecal incontinence, or even imperforation (lack of opening at the terminal end of the rectum/missing anus).
