A hernia involving the intestines with an accumulation of fluid, where both intestinal tissue and liquid protrude through a body opening or weakness.
Greek 'enteron' (intestine) + 'hydro' (water/fluid) + '-cele' (hernia, from Greek 'kele' meaning rupture or protrusion). This combines three anatomical concepts into one descriptive term.
A hernia is basically your body's tissue pushing through a hole it shouldn't—adding fluid to the mix makes it even more complicated because gravity and pressure constantly worsen the condition.
