| 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. |
| This viscus has been injured in a variety of ways during operations on the pelvic organs. |
| The semecarpus anacardium, bearing the form of a heart, was recommended in the diseases of this viscus. |
| Although rare, a large gallstone in the gallbladder will sometimes erode through the gallbladder wall into an adjacent viscus, usually the duodenum. |
| Plain-film abdominal radiographs are most useful when intestinal obstruction or perforation of a viscus in the abdomen is a concern. |
