A rare manifestation of digestive tract distension involving all the cavities was observed in a patient who had journeyed at high altitude. There was no organic obstruction suggesting that the increase in organ volume was related to decreased atmospheric pressure according to Maiotte's law. Distension may have been favoured by the diminished abdominal muscle tone, resulting in a lack of adaptation. Dilatation was predominant in the large organs, particularly the stomach and the colon.
在一名曾在高海拔地区旅行的患者中观察到一种罕见的涉及所有腔隙的消化道扩张表现。没有器质性梗阻，这表明根据迈奥特定律，器官体积的增加与大气压力降低有关。腹部肌肉张力降低可能有利于扩张，导致缺乏适应性。扩张在大器官中占主导，尤其是胃和结肠。
