A necropsy showed a rupture two inches long and two inches from the pyloric end.

Lallemand mentions an instance of the rupture of the coats of the stomach by the act of vomiting.

The patient was a woman who had suffered with indigestion five or six months, but had been relieved by strict regimen.

After indulging her appetite to a greater extent than usual, she experienced nausea, and made violent and ineffectual efforts to discharge the contents of the stomach.

While suffering great agony she experienced a sensation as if something was tearing in the lower part of her belly.
The woman uttered several screams, fell unconscious, and died that night.
