Question:
What is it called when a pt. vomits stool(bowel movement backwards)?
reverse perilstalsis
Answers:
You misspelled it. It's an extremely rare condition called reverse peristalsis, wherein fecal matter is forced from the intestines, up into the stomach, into the esophagus, and then vomited out - although there have been instances where the fecal matter has been expelled through the nasal passages. Also known as copremesis and stercoraceous vomiting.
