Excerpt from Difficult Digestion Due to Displacements

The recent investigations of Comby1 confirm my Opinion that enteroptosis is not so uncommon in children as is contended by some, and in more than one case of movable kidney there has been a distinct history of its existence from early childhood.

In one such case there was ample evidence that the right kidney was freely movable at the age of three years in another lately under observation pain and uneasiness, with attacks of vomiting, had occurred at intervals since the age of seven years, the condition of gastroptosis, arching downwards of the colon and more than usually mobile kidneys on both sides not being diagnosed until the patient had reached middle life.

It must be admitted that the phenomena of heart-hurry, tumultuous cardiac action, praecordial distress, faintness, emotionalism, and symptoms more closely referable to digestive derangement, have not always received the careful attention which they may deserve. The patient is dubbed 'very neurotic,' and most of the troubles com plained of are set down to the nervous system, without any examination being made which might help to establish a possible cause in the condition of the abdominal organs.

There is one feature in all cases of dislocation of the viscera which have come under my notice that may account for the neurasthenic symptoms so often con comitant with enteroptosis, i.a., a low blood pressure in the systemic vessels. The pulse is seldom under 96 per minute, soft, easily compressible, Often small and obliterated by very slight pressure at all times of the day. In many cases it is hardly perceptible after evacuation from the bowel, this function being followed by marked tachycardia and in several instances threatened syncope.
