Ellis Symptom

Ellis symptom (syndrome) is a neurological disease related to damage to one of the sections of the autonomic nervous system (part of the central section innervating the parasympathetic section of the ANS).

There are two theories for the development of Ellis syndrome: central - dysregulation of the heart, blood vessels and respiratory tract; peripheral - swelling of the nerve trunk of the sympathetic ganglion with subsequent damage to the autonomic fiber and the development of symptoms of the disease. The syndrome develops mainly in middle-aged women. The parts that innervate the internal organs are affected: the large intestine (flatulence, constipation or diarrhea, abdominal pain), the gastrointestinal tract (over time, nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, weakness, flatulence, anemia appear), liver and gall bladder ( spasms, biliary colic, yellowing of the skin and eyes, temperature from 37°C to 38°C). The reason for this may be a disruption in the functioning of autonomic regulation with tension in the heart muscle, excessive dilation of blood vessels and compression of their walls, and a decrease in muscle contractility when the intestinal wall is compressed. After suffering from infectious diseases, narrowing of the veins of the abdominal cavity is likely. Exacerbation of concomitant chronic diseases (cardiovascular system, nervous system, gastrointestinal tract and
