Re: TERM: ES-ES: vómito en escopetazo

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

1) you made a mistake in your header. It is not ES-ES but ES-EN.

Fortunately I read your message :-)

2) In my own EN-FR glossary, I entered :

" Projectile vomiting = Vomissement en fusée, en jet, projeté " , which

corresponds to your vomito en escopetazo.

Hi ,

Some references in your context :

" *Space-occupying intracranial

<http://www.emedicinehealth.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=13759>

(inside the head) lesions:* The headaches associated with intracranial

tumors are initially paroxysmal. Classic headaches of this type wake a

person from sleep at night and are associated with projectile vomiting.

With time, the headaches may become continuous and intensify with

activities that increase intracranial pressure (for example, coughing,

sneezing). "

_em.htm

" Intracranial masses: Distinguishing intracranial causes from

extracranial causes of headache may be difficult. Patients with

intracranial masses may complain of pain localized to the region of the

mass. However, if a diffuse rise in intracranial pressure exists, the

headache may be generalized. Some distinguishing historical features of

intracranial masses include the following:

* Severe occipital headache, sneezing, coughing, any Valsalva

maneuver, or change in head position exacerbates the pain.

* Pain is worse in the morning or awakens the patient from sleep.

* Projectile vomiting without nausea and focal seizures may occur.

However, morning headaches and projectile vomiting once thought to

be hallmarks of raised intracranial pressure may also occur from

etiologies other than intracranial masses. "

" projectile vomiting " is a fixed term, very standard and quite common in usage,

which, as described by others here, results from increased intracranial pressure

(from whatever cause including meningitis/encephalitis). It refers to the force

and suddenness of the vomiting as well as the cause, regardless of other

accompanying symptoms. It is highly suggestive of high intracranial pressure;

but a phrase such as " sudden vomiting " (with or without antecedent nausea) could

well be used when the clinical situation and the vomiting do not 'qualify' for

'projectile vomiting'.

Once you have witnessed a five year old with meningitis execute a " projectile

vomiting " of five feet into the middle of the room, you never wonder again what

the phrase means. (this is offered for illustration, with no disrespect for sick

children).

Thank you, Renzo,

I knew the symptom, but was not familiar with the English term; it is quite

descriptive, the same as in Spanish.

Kindest regards, and thanks again,
