The dull pains that occur in a partially obstructed viscus seem often to be worse with the torso fully extended. |

In abdominal disease the symptom is particularly associated with rapid enlargement of an encapsulated organ or distension of a hollow viscus. |
|
Visceral pain occurs when noxious stimuli affect a viscus, such as the stomach or intestines. |
|
Plain-film abdominal radiographs are most useful when intestinal obstruction or perforation of a viscus in the abdomen is a concern. |
|
An exploratory laparotomy was performed immediately after the second CT scan to search for a perforated viscus. |
|
Although rare, a large gallstone in the gallbladder will sometimes erode through the gallbladder wall into an adjacent viscus, usually the duodenum. |

Complicated intra-abdominal infections include those infections requiring surgical intervention and which extend beyond the hollow viscus into the peritoneal space. |
