LekhoriLekhoriThe accumulation of fluid in the peritoneum
If uniformity could be preserved throughout, we ought, however, to say hydroperitoneum, in place of ascites, hydropneumonia, for edema of the lungs, hydroarachnoid, for hydrocephalus, hydropleura, for hydrothorax, and hydrovarium, for dropsy of the ovaries.
From hydro- + peritoneum.
