The magnitude of the problem of ascites is not readily apparent to the clinician. A classification of conditions in which ascites occurs and a consideration of therapy occupy his thinking when confronted by a patient with the sign. Those actively engaged in investigative work on ascites have attempted to proceed further than their clinical colleagues. The vast void that exists in our knowledge becomes apparent with review of the literature. Only relative success of surgery in ameliorating chronic ascites has prompted the efforts presented within this report.
