Define the following terms (1 - 5): 1. Cancrum oris 2. Oesophageal atresia 3. Achalasia 4. Oesophageal stricture 5. Submucous cleft palate 6. Differentiate between sliding and rolling (paraesophageal) hiatal hernia. 7. List any FIVE (5) clinical manifestations of appendicitis. 8. Enumerate any FIVE (5) extramural causes of intestinal obstruction.
Understand the Problem
The question is asking for definitions and explanations of various medical terms and conditions related to musculo-skeletal disorders. It also asks to differentiate between two types of hiatal hernias, list clinical manifestations of appendicitis, and enumerate causes of intestinal obstruction.
Answer
1. Tissue-destroying mouth disease. 2. Esophagus doesn't connect to stomach. 3. Esophagus function disorder. 4. Esophagus narrowing. 5. Hidden palate cleft. 6. Sliding involves esophagus, rolling involves only stomach. 7. Pain, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, fever. 8. Tumors, adhesions, hernias, feces, volvulus.
- Cancrum oris: A severe gangrenous disease causing tissue destruction of the mouth and face. 2. Oesophageal atresia: A birth defect where the esophagus doesn't connect to the stomach. 3. Achalasia: A disorder where the esophagus has trouble moving food into the stomach. 4. Oesophageal stricture: Narrowing of the esophagus often causing swallowing difficulties. 5. Submucous cleft palate: A cleft that occurs under the mucous membrane of the palate. 6. Sliding vs. Rolling Hiatal Hernia: Sliding hernia involves stomach and lower esophagus moving up, rolling involves only the stomach pushing through the diaphragm. 7. Appendicitis manifestations: Pain in lower right abdomen, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, fever. 8. Extramural intestinal obstruction causes: Tumors, adhesions, hernias, impacted feces, volvulus.

More Information
Cancrum oris, also known as noma, predominantly occurs in malnourished children. Oesophageal atresia is a congenital defect detectable soon after birth. Achalasia can lead to severe swallowing difficulties and weight loss over time.
Tips
Ensure to differentiate clearly between sliding and rolling hernias by which part of the anatomy is involved.
